On this day 27 years ago, 45 Albanians lost their lives in the village of Racak near Urosevac. In the report of the OSCE Verification Commission, the event was characterized as a “massacre of civilians” and served as a pretext for the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which began on March 24, 1999. However, the Racak case remains one of the most controversial points in interpretations of the conflict in Kosovo.
