The “Third Lybeniq Massacre” took place, a massacre by the military and police forces of Serbia, committed against the civilian inhabitants of the village of Lybeniq near Peja and around it. A few days after the second massacre (April 1, 1999), in the place called Stanet of Beli in the mountains of Lybeniq, the civilians who were trapped and looking for rescue, were surrounded by Serbian military units, in which case dozens of civilians were killed. Among them, 9 residents of Lybeniq, 18 from Raushiqi, 10 from Bucan and some others from other villages of Peja and Deçan, killing them, cutting off their heads and throwing them into the cliff. Some of the corpses of those killed in the Lybeniq massacres were found in the gorge called Lybeniq Waterfall, some in the Peja cemetery, some were found in the mass grave near Belgrade, but still a number of those killed are considered missing.
