In the form of art installation, this exhibition is dealing with a specific crime committed by the Scorpions unit, on members of the family Bogujevci in Podujevo in March 1999. Fourteen members of the Bogujevci and Durici families were shot while five children survived, among them Saranda (13), Jehona (11) and Fatos Bogujevci (12). In July 2003, three of them testified before the War Crimes unit of the Supreme Court in Belgrade in proceedings against Sasa Cvjetan, a former member of the Scorpions. In July 2005, Cvjetan was sentenced to a prison term of twenty years. In September 2003, the surviving members of the Bogujevci family, began a campaign in Canada for bringing to justice Dejan Demirovic, another perpetrator of the crime. Demirovic was extradited to Serbia and he was tried in Belgrade in December 2008, with four other defendants, with testimony of surveyed members of Bogujevci family. In exchange for the withdrawal of the indictment, Demirovic became a cooperating witness, and the rest of the four were sentenced to twenty years in prison in 2009.<\/p>\n\n
Exhibition Bogujevci \/\/ Visual history consists of reconstruction of the living room in the house of Bogujevci family, hospital room where they lay after the crime and courtroom where they testified against members of the Scorpions, through which the authors convey their personal confession of what they survived.
