The fate of the missing still unresolved (KiM radio)

The Coordination of Serb Associations of Families of the Missing, Murdered and Killed Persons from former Yugoslavia said that "the international community in Kosovo, failed to prevent massive violations of human rights and that it did nothing to bring to justice the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against the civilian population." 

"Since the introduction of the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo, there were more than 7,200 ethnically motivated attacks. Over 1,100 Serbs and citizens of other nationalities were killed. 841 Serbs were kidnapped and about 1,000 were seriously injured," reads a statement of the Coordination of Serb Associations of Families of the Missing, Murdered and Killed Persons from former Yugoslavia. 

The statement added that despite the fact that on 10 June 1999, the Resolution 1244 was adopted and consequently the international community assumed an obligation and responsibility to protect human rights, "since that day begin mass destruction and persecution of the Serbian people and members of non-Albanian minorities in Kosovo." 

"Albanian society in Kosovo, more than 15 years after the end of the conflict, shows no sign of readiness to deal with crimes committed against Serbs. Moreover, it continues to exert systematic pressure on the remaining Serbs and jeopardize their rights," was said in a statement. 

The Coordination of Serb Associations of Families of the Missing, Murdered and Killed Persons from former Yugoslavia calls on the international community and the governments of Serbia and Kosovo to take measures in order to uncover the truth about the missing and murdered persons.
