The Situation in Brodec a day after the police operation Mountain Storm on the first sight seems to be quiet but the residents of this village are so worried about all that theyve experienced. At about 13.00 the police has permitted the media to visit the village. The police troops could be seen everywhere, from the beginning of the road that takes to the Highland Villages all the way to Brodec, where the action took place, which according to the official information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was to capture Lirim Jakupi, known as NACISTI. The residents of the village who could only get out of their houses after the arrival of TV crews, evidently concerned, claimed that they had no information on what had happened a day before in their village, because they had been sheltered in the basements of their houses. They said that theyve heard gunshots all day long and six inhabitants of their village had been arrested by the police and sent towards an unkwnown direction. |

he is the oldest. I had a father and three brothers. They closed our door. We will wait for Kushtrim to grow up, but who will grow up Kushtrim now??? Who will be our man??? We ask them to return them back to us without being mistreated, not as the one
. who was returned killed. They are bringing him back in a coffin. I do not see my father and the other brothers. He is the only mail, my beloved. We have other children in cradles. Who will take care for them? How come that the Slavs were not ashamed of themselves?

Sister of Fisnik Ahmeti: How come that they are not ashamed of themselves? They brought so many tanks for four persons. They took my father and my three brothers. They brought so many armed vehicles. How come they are not embarrassed? Why arent the internationals reacting? You saw yourself that what happened. They raided, mistreated children
Mother of Fisnik Ahmeti: They brought tanks and loaded weapons around the streets. They came here, took some things and put them nearby the weapons. Why doing this? Taking out things from the walls and putting them near by the weapons. It cannot be like this.

For 5-10 persons that came to the village, to use artillery and hit Brodec? Isnt this embarrassing for the state?? They named 17-18 year old boys commanders!! For what kind of commanders they are talking about!!!??? These boys do not know what the weapon is. Police killed civilians
