On 27 March 1999, members of Serbian forces killed 46 Kosovo Albanians in Pejë. The remains of 40 of the victims were found at Batajnica. The youngest victim was 17 and the oldest was 92 years old.
Members of Serbian forces in olive and blue
camouflage uniforms, among whom Albanian civilians recognised some of their
Serbian neighbours, surrounded the Pejë neighbourhoods of Brežanik I and Brežanik II (now
called Dardania I and Dardania II respectively). In the evening they began
entering the houses of Kosovo Albanians forcing people out. They kept the men
behind, ordering the women, children and the elderly to go the centre of town.
Most of the men kept behind were killed, after which their houses were burned.
The women, children and the elderly were stopped near the elementary school, where their jewellery and money was taken away, after which they were ordered to continue towards the Albanian border.
