Srpska Lista, Djuric on kidnapping of journalists in Kosovo (RTS, BETA)
Srpska Lista on the occasion of two decades since the kidnapping of Serbian journalists Djuro Slavuj and Ranko Perenic in the area of Orahovic said this case must be resolved and the perpetrators brought to the justice, RTS reported.
“The silence of the international community and Pristina institutions about this case will not discourage us to keep reminding on the perishing of these honourable men, who were kidnapped just because they carried out their duties and were Serbs,” Srpska Lista said in a press statement.
Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric also said that the failure of Pristina’s judiciary to solve the case of two missing Serb journalists for 20 years was a significant obstacle to a lasting peace and building of mutual trust.
“The fact that the extremists every year destroy a plaque which the fellow journalists put up in memory of the missing colleagues proves that an ideology of evil still lives in Kosovo and that the society there is far from creating a culture of respect for innocent victims,” Djuric added.
He urged Kosovo judiciary and the international institutions in Pristina not to turn a blind eye to the shameful history parts and to, in the name of humanity and future, stop ignoring and hushing up the cases of abductions and murders of the citizens, BETA news agency reported.
