Today we went back to where we were yesterday, Hoca Zagradska near Prizren, and finally the MUP let us in to see the village they shelled yesterday, some houses still burning, seven alleged KLA neatly dead in a riverbed, each with a rifle next to him, all very young and very killed. Another example of a set-up, if you ask me, but of course there’s no way to know for sure. All these bodies very depressing.

Then we saw Bosnia war criminal #1, the infamous Arkan, whose death squads rampaged through Bosnia in ‘92-’94, now he’s a “respectable” Serb politician and casino owner, also the owner of a soccer team which was playing today in Pristina. Surrounded by his thugs, he said to us, “You are not sports journalists,” as we took his picture kissing babies after the game.
