Engel expects punishment of Serbia's crimes in Kosovo

The department has brought the report from the Centre for Humanitarian Law to the attention of Serbia's newly elected war crimes prosecutor.

Engel has expressed concern over the lack of justice for the killings and crimes committed by the Government of Serbia during and after the Kosovo war.

Serbian President Vuciq and Dacic have promised senior American officials for many years that they would bring to justice the perpetrators of this crime and the crime of burning our embassy in 2008. The two also promised me”, he said.

Engel has also stressed that the mass murder of thousands of civilians is a crime against humanity, but the perpetrators of the work have remained unpunished.

“Proves confirmed that the decision to conceal evidence of crimes committed since March 1999 was planned at the highest level of government, and showed that members of Serbia's Ministry of Interior's two departments (the State Security Department and Public Security Department) and the Yugoslav Army departments responsible for “clearing of” were involved. It has been a long time for Belgrade to face facts and bring people to justice, including its senior officials, who stand behind these crimes”, Engel has indicated.

He has also expressed deep concern over the lack of justice for the killings and crimes committed by the Government of Serbia.

And Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, has shared the opinion with Congresswoman Engel about the lack of progress in the Bytyqi case and the burning of the American Embassy in Belgrade in 2008. He has said, among other things, that Serbia has appointed the new special war crimes prosecutor -- a position that has remained vacant for years, and now the US has called for the Bytyqi brothers' case to be its priority.

“We hope that this appointment will serve in progress of investigations into those responsible for the murder in the Bytyqi” case, Tillerson said.
