On the first day of the workshop, at the lecture delivered by Ivana \u017dani\u0107, executive director of the Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC), around ten young people from different parts of Serbia had an opportunity to learn the facts from HLC dossier \u201c<\/span>The Concealment of Bodies Operation<\/span>\u201d. <\/span>On the territory of Serbia, four mass graves have been discovered so far, containing a total of 941 bodies: Batajnica (744 bodies),<\/b> Lake<\/b> Peru\u0107ac (84 bodies), Petrovo Selo (61 bodies) and Rudnica (52 bodies). <\/b>The first three mass graves were discovered in 2001, while the last one, Rudnica, was found in 2013. In the said dossier, HLC also presents data on the burning of the bodies of Kosovo Albanians, mentioning three locations in that context: the Ma\u010dkatica aluminium complex near Surdulica, the Feronikl plant in Glogovac and the Copper mining and smelting complex Bor (RTB).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The FHP dossier states that the units under command of Milorad Ulemek Legija participated in the events in Ma\u010dkatica in May 1999. <\/span>Although the then War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vuk\u010devi\u0107 visited the factory in 2005, no indictment has been raised. After Ivana \u017dani\u0107\u2019s lecture, the participants were asked, with facilitation of Fiona Jeli\u0107i and Marko Milosavljevi\u0107 from YIHR, <\/b>to fill in the blank maps by creating the maps of paths of the concealment of victims based on the data from the judgments and documents:<\/span> from war crimes in Kosovo to secondary mass graves in Serbia (Batajnica, Lake Peru\u0107ac, Petrovo Selo and Rudnica). After the group work on creating the maps, the participants had the opportunity to read the <\/span>stories of families of victims<\/span> whose bodies ended in the mass graves at the shooting range of the Serbian Interior Ministry Special Anti-Terrorist Unit. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The end of the first day of the workshop was reserved for the training on how to search information and data in the archive of the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at their website. <\/span>Jovana Kolari\u0107, HLC researcher<\/b>, presented to the participants how they can get certain documents from the cases tried before the ICTY. As an exercise, the participants searched for the New Year and Christmas greetings by Milan Marti\u0107 in 1995 and the recordings of the guilty pleas of the accused. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Documents such as Milan Marti\u0107\u2019s New Year and Christmas greetings for the new year of 1995 point to the links between and \u201caspiration\u201d of the participants in a joint criminal enterprise included in the indictment against former heads of the Serbian Intelligence Agency Jovica Stani\u0161i\u0107 and Franko Simatovi\u0107. <\/span>The author of the greetings is the then President of the Republic of Srpska Krajina and other recipients, besides the accused Jovica Stani\u0161i\u0107, are Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107, Radovan Karad\u017ei\u0107, Mom\u010dilo Kraji\u0161nik, as well as the then Presidents of FR Yugoslavia and Montenegro, Zoran Lili\u0107 and Momir Bulatovi\u0107.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the second day of the workshop, the participants had the opportunity to come to the entrance of the mentioned Training Centre of the <\/span>Serbian Interior Ministry\u2019s Special Anti-Terrorist Unit, where 744 bodies of persons killed and then secretly buried at the shooting range were found<\/b>. Mirko Medenica, associate at the Centre for Applied History, an organisation that often organises public lectures on secret mass grave in Batajnica, delivered a public lecture near the entrance to the Training Centre; he talked about crimes in Kosovo and the culture of memory of the concealment of bodies operation in Belgrade. After the visit to Batajnica, the participants watched the movie \u201cDepth Two\u201d and talked with the author Ognjen Glavoni\u0107.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR) organized a two-day workshop for young journalists, activists and politicians from the PYN Network in Belgrade on December 21-22 2019.
