Panels with photographs and names of more than 2,500 Serb civilian, military and police victims have been installed in front of the parliament building.

The campaign, dubbed "The Serb Wailing Wall," has been organized by the Association of the Families of Kidnapped and Murdered Persons in Kosovo and Metohija, and is aimed at convincing the city and the state to allocate a site to build a memorial for the victims.

The panels will be displayed in front of the Serbian assembly until July 15.

The association's president, Simo Spasic, told reporters on Wednesday that they also launched a petition to gather support for the memorial that should honour all Serbs who were murdered or went missing in Kosovo.

Spasic said that the petition has been presented to Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.

Lozanka Radojcic, whose son, a soldier, was killed at Kosare, said that "the pain of every mother for her lost child is the same - but the whole world knows about the pain of mothers from Srebrenica, while rarely anyone knows about the pain of mothers from Serbia."

"Some may think this memorial means nothing, but we are fighting for this state to stand behind those victim, and in some way recognize them, instead of kill them once more with oblivion," Radojicic said.
