Gjetaj: Internationals to force Serbia to reveal mass grave locations (Gazeta Express)

“So far 50 bodies have been discovered at the mass grave in Raska. Excavations are ongoing. There are other mass graves in Serbia, and we want the international community to pressure Serbia into revealing the locations,” Prenk Gjetaj, chairman of the Kosovo government’s missing persons committee, said in today’s meeting with a delegation of the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances. Gjetaj said dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade failed to achieve satisfactory results on the issue of missing persons. He called for greater responsibility and for all those responsible for crimes to face justice. “There is an exchange of information and some data can be helpful. But this is not enough. We lack information about suspected mass graves in Serbia’s territory, although we have made direct requests. We are concerned by the fact that they are avoiding responsibility. Every crime needs to be tried and condemned; this would be the only satisfaction for families of missing persons. For those who suffered in times of war, the message that no one can escape justice would be very helpful,” he added.
