Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga met today with a delegation of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, led by Ariel Dulitzky. The delegation is visiting Kosovo and the Balkans on a fact-finding mission related to missing persons. Jahjaga said the fate of over 1,700 missing persons needs to be resolved as quickly as possible, as this would help heal a grave wound in society and help families of missing persons to find peace. Jahjaga said this would also help foster peace and stability in the Balkans and create conditions for trust and reconciliation. Dulitzky said the goal of the fact-finding mission is to get firsthand information on the issue of missing persons in the Balkans and challenges faced by different countries. Dulitzky said the position of the United Nations is that the fate of missing persons - not only in Kosovo but in other countries of the region - needs to be resolved. He also said that justice will prevail for missing persons and that their families need support from society.
