MURDER OF FEHMI AGANI MUST BE SOLVED

Based on the information and evidence it has, the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) has urged Serbian Public Prosecutor Sinisa Simic to take all the necessary steps to ensure that the murder of Kosovo Albanian politician Fehmi Agani during the NATO intervention is solved. 

Investigating Judge Danica Marinkovic of the Pristina District Court had ordered Predrag Nikolic of the Special Police Units and police reservist in Kosovo Polje Zoran Djeletovic to be taken into custody on suspicion of having murdered Agani near Kosovo Polje on 6 May 1999. Though the HLC has no knowledge of where the records of the investigation into Nikolic and Djelotovic are at present, this can easily be ascertained by the Serbian Public Prosecutor's Office. The HLC has information that Agani was killed in the presence of Kosovo Polje Police Chief Radomir Vjestica, and that one police officer refused to fire his weapon at Agani. One of the eyewitnesses of the murder lives in Kosovo and can be questioned in the course of further judicial investigations into the case. 

Fehmi Agani, his wife Sadije and son Mentor left Pristina at 7 a.m. on 6 May 1999 by train for Macedonia. To avoid being recognized, Agani wore a long coat and wrapped a shawl around his head. At about 9 a.m., the train was stopped at the Blace crossing because Macedonia had closed its borders that day and, several hours later, turned back to Pristina. At 3 p.m., just four kilometers outside Kosovo Polje, police stopped the train and ordered some 500 passengers to get off. The passengers were surrounded by some 50 police who searched some of them and separated out 15 young men and started beating them and threatening their lives. Trying to protect the young men, Agani took off his coat and shawl to attract the attention of the police to himself. Some 40 minutes later, three buses arrived and the police told the passengers to board them to be taken to Pristina. After Agani and his family had boarded one of the buses, a policeman asked him to get out again, saying he needed to talk to him. The policeman then led Agani to a car while the buses drove off. 

When she returned to Pristina, Mrs Agani went to several police stations to inquire about her husband but was unable to obtain any information. Two days later, she was asked to come to the morgue of the Pristina hospital where she was told her husband's body had been there for two days.
