RECOM - regional commission for the establishment of facts about war crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia – presented today in Pristina findings of a research into human losses suffered in conflicts throughout the territory of former Yugoslavia. RECOM said that over 130,000 people lost their lives in conflicts that began in 1991 and out of this figure over 13,000 are from Kosovo. “From January 1998 to 2000, 13,535 people have been killed or are missing in Kosovo,” said Bekim Balaj from the Humanitarian Law Centre. He added that majority of the victims are from the region of Gjakova/Djakovica, followed by that of Drenica and Malisheva. Meanwhile, Natasa Kandic, RECOM coordinator, said it is important to identify all victims that suffered during the wars and that they expect leaders in the Western Balkans to encourage regional cooperation.
