They don’t know or they don’t want to know about massacres in Kosovo? (Koha Ditore)
The paper’s Brussels-based correspondent and columnist, Augustin Palokaj, writes that the “scandalous” statement of the Kosovo government’s minister, Aleksandar Jablanovic, that he was not aware that Serb forces committed massacres in Kosovo, is a serious problem that shows how Serbian politicians and society continue to deny responsibility for crimes committed in the territory of former Yugoslavia. “It is difficult to believe that a minister, no matter how ignorant he may be, has not really heard of crimes Serbian troops committed in Kosovo. It is more likely that he, like many other politicians, refuses to hear about those crimes,” writes Palokaj. He argues that the international community, instead of saying one thing to Albanians and another to Serbs for the sake of dialogue, it should speak the truth.
