On August 30, the International Day of the Disappeared, the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija (KiM) regrets to observe that over 16 years no progress has been made in resolving the fate of the 1,711 missing persons in Kosovo, or in shedding light on the crimes and punishing the perpetrators, and appeals to the international institutions to help in this matter.
“Considering that the bodies of the interim self-government institutions in Pristina obviously do not want or have no capacities to address this issue, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija once again appeals the authorized international institutions in the Province to use their authority to resolve the fate of the missing persons, because that is the debt of all of us to the victims and their families, and the foundation for a true normalization of relations in KiM, ” the Office said in a release.
