Milica Rakic died on April 17, 1999. Her father Zarko stated about the scene he saw.
- Bathroom was full of bomb parts, which fell with utmost strength and broke through the wall. "We lost her" were the first words that came through my head. She had a great wound on her thigh through which she bled out, along with other wounds.
