Victims of the war crimes committed in Kosovo between 1998 and 1999, would be able to participate, through representatives, in the proceedings of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, KIM Radio reported.

The proceedings would take place in The Hague, while the victims of the war crimes would be able to, based on the court’s verdicts, receive compensations for the losses or injuries they had sustained.

War victims’ clothes and other personal possessions, stored at the Institute of Forensic Medicine since 2003, are being transferred to a better location after calls to ensure that they are preserved.

Thousands of items that were owned by Kosovo war victims whose bodies have been found in mass and individual graves since the conflict are being transferred to a more appropriate location after having been stored for years in poor conditions.

The move comes after pressure by the director of Kosovo Forensics, Arsim Gerxhaliu, and victims’ families.
