Massacre
There were 50 victims of the Suva Reka massacre — among them many children — 49 of them members of the Berisha family. The victims were locked inside a pizzeria into which two hand grenades were thrown. Before taking the bodies out of the pizzeria, the police allegedly shot anyone still showing signs of life. The bodies of the victims were later transported to Serbia and buried in mass graves near a police facility at Batajnica, near Belgrade.
