The EU-facilitated Belgrade-Pristina dialogue produced an agreement to establish a reliable property registry in Kosovo, but in practice, people remain unable to get back homes they lost during and after the 1998-99 war.
Trajko Semic has not been able to live in his own property in Kosovo’s southern town of Prizren since the day he fled in August 1999 with his children and his pregnant wife.
In 2002, he returned and saw that someone else had taken over both of his two houses. They were then burned down in the March 2004 riots, when hundreds of ethnic Albanian protestors clashed with Serbs and attacked their homes.
Semic said his houses were demolished along with four others and the area now “has been turned into a dirty road”.
