Today is the 11th anniversary since the attack on the bus of the Nis Express company, near Podujevo, in northeastern Kosmet, when 12 Kosmet serbs were killed and 43 injured. The youngest among them, Danilo Cokic was only two years old.

The explosion of a mine on the major road on February 16, 2001, blew away the first bus of a convoy that was taking the expelled Serbs from Kosmet to Gracanica, accompanied by KFOR.

The only suspect of this abominable crime, Kosmet Albanian Florim Ejupi was acquitted upon the arrival of EULEX to Kosmet.

Namely, in the second-degree procedure before the Kosovo Supreme Court, in March 2009, the Ejupi was released for the “lack of evidence”, even though the trial chamber of international judges in 2008 had sentenced him as guilty to 40 years of prison.

Besides this one, other culprits for some of the gravest crimes against Kosmet Serbs after the arrival of the international forces have not been discovered and apprehended.
