Interviewer: Visar Kukaqi<\/p>\n

Interviewee: Nora Xhuzi<\/p>\n

V.K.: Hello, can you please introduce yourself?<\/p>\n

N.X.: Hello, my name is Nora Xhuzi and I come from Prizren.<\/p>\n

V.K.: Can you please tell us about your story during the war?<\/p>\n

Nora Xhuzi: Sure. Each story that is about the time during the war will surely be a sad memory. These stories are always about those difficult times and memories which we find hard to recall. Maybe because of the young age I cannot remember everything, but there were some scenes that will never be forgotten \u2013 like the moment when we were occupied by the military force of Serbia because the whole neighborhood planned to run to Albania. But since the military force found this out, they surrounded the entire neighborhood and didn\u2019t let us leave the city. We were all stressed and frightened as we didn\u2019t know what would happen to us. Our house was close to the sports center, which had a lot of space, and later on, we understood that the Serbian military had started to open a big hole in order to bury there everyone in our neighborhood after executing us. Then, it is also the memory of when the bombing started. Although we were happy that other countries were helping us we were still scared, since we were too close to the barracks of the Serbian military force. The noises we heard and the terrors we went through are too hard to fade away from the memories. These are the moments I still can remember. Or also the times when every morning, around 5-6 o\u2019clock the Serbian military force broke into our houses to find us sleeping in our beds. The tortures were of different kinds, and we didn\u2019t have the space or time to answer their questions. Their intention was to take away the people who were educated, or those people with strong morals and principles, be that in the city or even the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

V.K.: What have your parents told you about the war consequences, since you were too young to remember.<\/p>\n

N.X.:Well, too many consequences. After the war, when we were living in freedom and Serbia left Kosovo, we were so happy and focused on the positive sides. Now, in freedom, even though there are many consequences, we started to build a new life, a new reality for ourselves \u2013 at the moment when Serbia, the military force, left the country. The crowds of people were welcoming KFOR and everything else after what they\u2019ve been through.<\/p>\n

V.K.: Were you safe to go out in the city immediately after the war?<\/p>\n

N.X.:We were much safer then, because we knew the military was no longer out there. Plus, we knew KFOR is there to protect us. So, yes, we felt safe, despite some of the inconveniences that happened during that post-war time.<\/p>\n

V.K.: Now, when you think of these distressed moments after all these years, how do they make you feel?<\/p>\n

Nora Xhuzi: They make me appreciate freedom more. To value the time in freedom and maybe learn the lesson to fight for our rights and hope that what has happened in the past to never happen again. Especially, now that the young generations don\u2019t know much about the war, since they didn\u2019t experience those terrors. So, we hope nothing like that to be repeated ever again.<\/p>\n

V.K.: Thank you!<\/p>\n

N.X.:Thank you, too!<\/p>\n
