It is estimated that 82 to 83 bodies were transported to Serbia by the same group from the city of Peja, Kosovo, to the Batajnica mass grave in Belgrade in 1999.  

Belgrade - Based on the information held by the Fund for Humanitarian Right, Mr. Danilo Bulatovic (Bato) from Peje, Kosovo,  who is accused of coordinating with the transportation of civilian bodies from Kosovo to mass graves in Serbia now works as an investigator in the Service for investigation of the war crimes in the Serbian Ministry of Interior.

 

During the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, Mr. Bulatovic coordinated the transportation and destruction of the remains of Albanian civilians killed by the Serb forces in the Peja region. According to information made available to the media by the Fund, he was following the orders of Boro Vlahovic, who was the head of the Ministry of Interior for the city of Peja, who instructed him to only remove bodies of dead civilians and leave the bodies of Kosovo Liberation Army soldiers so the media can be lead to believe that no civilians were being killed by Serb forces.

The other known participants of this local project in Peja were Miladin Milojevic, chief of the criminal investigative office, Zoran Stanisic, technical chief and other employees of the same office.

It is estimated that 82 to 83 bodies were transported to Serbia by the same group to the Batajnica mass grave in Belgrade in 1999. The fund has asked the Serbian Ministry of Interior to distance itself from individuals like Mr. Bulatovic. It has also asked the government to take legal action against Slobodan Borisavljevic, chief of service for investigation of war crimes in the Ministry of Interior. Mr. Borisavljevic, a trusted person by Slobodan Milosevic, was in charge of "cleaning the terrain", or transportation of bodies during the war of 1999.

Although the government has promised to The Hague War Tribunal that Mr. Borisavljevic will surrender, it has taken no action to arrest him.
