Families of the Missing Kosovo Serbs: UNMIK and KFOR are Doing Nothing to Help

On the International Day of the Missing, August 30, representatives of the Association of the Families of the kidnapped, killed and missing Kosovo-Metohija Serbs told UNMIK head Lamberto Zannier they are unhappy with the fact civilian and military mission (UN Mission in Kosovo and NATO troops named ‘Kosovo Force’, KFOR, in Serbian province) have done nothing to help throw some light at the fate of those people.

Association member Gordana Djikanovic said they told Zannier Serbs are disappointed with the fact civilian and military mission have done nothing in the past ten years to help the truth come out about the missing Serbs, Roma and other non-Albanians in Kosovo-Metohija province.

“We have also expressed our dissatisfaction because nothing is being done to identify some 560 bodies lying in the Pristina morgue”, Djikanovic said.

Over 1,300 Kosovo Serbs were kidnapped by the Albanian terrorists after the withdrawal of the Yugoslav Army, as NATO occupied the southern Serbian province in June 1999

She stressed that UNMIK representatives, even though they received the list with the names of 300 kidnappers and with locations where the kidnapped Kosovo-Metohija Serbs were buried, have taken no steps to process those responsible for the crimes.

Djikanovic pointed to the fact that not one of the terrorist KLA leaders has faced the consequences of the committed crimes — to the contrary, they are now the high functionaries of the fake “government” of Kosovo-Metohija province.

“Zannier appeared interested to hear us out, but we got no promise to take to our families. He said that his associates will search and work on resolving the issues we pointed to”, representative of the Association of the Families of the kidnapped, killed and missing Kosovo Serbs told RTS.

More than 1,300 Kosovo-Metohija Serbs went missing after the 1999 counter-insurgency war against the Albanian terrorist KLA (UCK). While the remains of some 800 Kosovo Serbs were found and identified, the fate of another 550 registered missing Kosovo Serbs remains unknown, according to the data of the Families Association.
