The Kosova Women’s Network (KWN) said today it supports the “Cries of Mothers” Association and that it will join the national protest on Saturday in front of the National Library in Pristina. “For 16 years now, the ‘Cries of Mothers’ Association has called for the fate of missing persons to be resolved. The hate speech used by Aleksandar Jablanovic and his position not to recognize the Republic of Kosovo as an independent state, has caused great concern with the KWN and all the people of Kosovo.

BELGRADE - The Association of the Families of the Kidnapped and Murdered in Kosovo and Metohija has sent an open letter to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), asking for assistance in ensuring the release of the kidnapped Serbs in Kosovo.

Isa Mustafa, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, attended today the meeting of the Kosovo government’s committee for missing persons. “I am here today to express my full commitment to do my best to resolve the fate of your missing loved ones. This issue will be treated as a priority by the government of the Republic of Kosovo. It will also be treated as a priority in meetings and relations with international officials, so that pressure can be applied on Serbia to find our loved ones. We will also address this issue within the process of dialogue in Brussels,” Mustafa said.

Association of Families of kidnapped and murdered in Kosovo and Metohija appealed today to the Serbian PM, Aleksandar Vucic, asking him to set the release of abducted Serbs and return to their families as the first topic of the agenda, at the future meeting with Kosovo Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa.

BELGRADE - The fate of 1,655 people gone missing in Kosovo during the clashes in 1998 and 1999 remains unresolved, the Working Group in charge of missing persons stated at its 38th meeting on Tuesday.

In the course of ten years of its existence, the Working Group in charge of cases of persons gone missing in Kosovo managed to reduce the number of unsolved cases from 3,200 to 1,655, Chair of the Working Group Lina Milner said.

The prosecution of those responsible for crimes against Serbs in Kosovo aggravated by the fact that the suspects were not available to judicial authorities, but also the fact that prosecutors in Serbia were denied access to evidence and witnesses in Kosovo, said the Deputy War Crimes Prosecutor of Serbia Dragoljub Stankovic.

"Raska region for us has not been completed. We have checked only the quarry, we have some points that were suspicious for us and we will process it at the working group in Belgrade," says Prenk Gjetaj, President of the Government Commission on Missing Persons.

A meeting of the Commission for Missing Persons in Pristina/Prishtine this time was not attended by representatives of families of missing and kidnapped Serbs from Kosovo. Gjetaj told RTK2 that he expects good cooperation to continue.
