Batajnica mass graves

The Batajnica mass graves are mass graves that were found in 2001 near Batajnica, a suburb of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The graves contained the bodies of 744[1] Kosovar Albanians civilians that were killed during the Kosovo War.[2] The mass graves were found on the training grounds of the Yugoslav Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ).[3] Dead bodies were brought to the site by trucks from Kosovo; most were incinerated before burial.[4] After the war, SAJ restricted investigators' access to the firing range, and continued live-firing exercises whilst forensic teams tried to investigate the massacre.[5]
