CEMETERIES

Of the two city cemeteries Vlakovo became part of the occupied territory and Bare became the front line. Because of that the citizens buried their loved ones in old cemeteries, around the mosques, in the parks, and even around some residential buildings. The largest cemeteries established during the siege were Kovaci, Alifakovac, Vrbanja and the old Lav cemetery which expanded into the auxiliary soccer field and other green areas around the Kosevo stadium. The funeral processions were often shelled, and the graves were usually dug at night and in advance so as to minimize the risk and to cut the time one was exposed to the fire from the surrounding hills. In 1995, from April to September, funerals and burials occurred only at night.
