Humanitarian Law Centerwar was over and KFOR arrived and when authorised experts from TheHague came, the bodies were exhumed.Then we saw that in that place the following persons were buried: Enver’sfather, my son Shpend, Enver’s son and daughter, my mother, aunt, sisterin-law,and son. It was the most difficult thing to collect his remains becausehis skull was broken and I was collecting its parts. This is the thirdtime that I said this to somebody and it is still very hard. The names of myfamily members, who were buried in that place, are: Shehide, Shefkata, Nefise,and Sala. Nora, Shpend, Shpetim, then Fexhrie Blakqori-Llugaliu, thenEnver’s family members, father Hamdi Duriqi, mother Esma Duriqi, wife FitneteDuriqi, and four of Enver’s children, whose names I cannot remember,as well as my neighbour and my wife’s uncle Selman Gashi. My brother, Enver,and I identified the bodies. After that we buried our family members’mortal remains in our cemetery located across the bridge.After that The Hague investigators exhumed the bodies again. On that occasion,all of the bodies from our family were exhumed.My house in Podujevo was located on Kosančić Ivan Street; I cannot rememberthe number of the house.
