Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack Шаблон:Campaignbox Kosovo War The Gornje Obrinje massacre (Шаблон:Lang-sq, Шаблон:Lang-sr) refers to the killing of 21 Kosovo Albanians, belonging to the same family, in a forest outside the village of Donje Obrinje on 26 September 1998 by Serbian Police Forces during the Kosovo War. Among the victims were women and children.
The Yugoslav Army had been deployed in the area for several months in a major offensive against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which had assumed loose control of an estimated one-third of the province. There was serious combat in the areas of Suva Reka and Drenica.[1] At least 14 policemen had been killed by the KLA earlier that month.[2] On 25 September, a Serbian police vehicle was blown up by a detonation on the road between Likovac and Gornje Obrinje, with five dead.[3] The KLA sometimes retreated through villages after their frequent attacks on Serbian police, moving in proximity to civilians.[4] According to HRW, the Serbian special police retaliated by killing 21 civilians,[2] belonging to the family of Deliaj from Donje Obrinje, on 26 September.Шаблон:Sfn Among these were 9 women and 5 children.[5] They had been executed in a nearby forest.Шаблон:Sfn Later that same day, 14 men were randomly selected some kilometres from Gornje Obrinje, abused for several hours, then eventually 13 were executed[2] in Golubovac.[1] On 27 September HRW researchers and journalists arrived at the village and documented the massacre, garnering major Western media coverage.[1]
International political pressure on the FR Yugoslav government to end its crackdown in Kosovo was accelerated by the news of these killings, leading to a new resolution issued by the United Nations Security Council on 24 October 1998, calling for the deployment of the Diplomatic Verification Mission and an end to hostilities.
