PRISHTINA, July 29 /ATA/ Acting Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti said that during January 1, 1998 to June 20, 1999, there have been 12,230 victims of the war in Kosovo. These have been documented. The figure includes 1,047 children killed, 94 who lost their lives as a result of the conditions of the war, while the fate of about 100 missing children is still unknown.
At the event for the launch of the Report of the Institute for War Crimes in Kosovo, Kurti said that only during the period March-June 1999, there were killed about 9 thousand people.
“Without a record, there is no memory, no justice, and no lasting peace,” Kurti said.
He stressed that the list is preliminary and will continue to be supplemented with new evidence.
The acting prime minister also took the opportunity to point at Serbia for, as he put it, the failure to implement the Declaration on Missing Persons agreed on May 2, 2023 in Brussels and the refusal to open military archives. /KosovaPress/p.s./
