Vuciqi's forgotten promise to Bytyci brothers, Ilir goes to Serbia to seek justice

Serbia must find out who is responsible for the death of my brothers, who are the authorities for killing them”, Ilir declared.

Star's lifeless troops, Agron and Mehmet Bytyci were found in a mass grave near a police station in the village of Petrovão near Kladovos. Ilir Bytyci has told N1 television that they were found in that mass grave with their eyes closed and hands tied to razor wire,

Nothing happened yet. But we expect the president to fulfill his promise. So I told the Government of Serbia, you must bring criminals to justice. All this event is a disgrace to Serbia's government and Serbia's” has declared Ilir Bytyci for N1 television, Periscopi reports.

Serbian President Aleksanda Vuciq, at a first two-year meeting, had promised Bytyci that the case would be cleared up and that investigations were heading towards the end.

Asked by Serbian television reporter N1, if you really believe this case will be resolved, Ilir Bytyci has been extremely pessimistic that such a thing could happen, writes Periscopi.

During his stay in Serbia, Bytyci has met and spoke with the justice minister and war crimes prosecutor. Minister Nela Kuburovic has told her that the government will resolve the case, while the war crimes prosecutor has told her that time is still needed.

This year's July 9th takes 19 years to kill brothers Mehmet (21), Agron (23) and Star (25) Bytyqi by members of Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MPB). The failure of institutions regarding the condemnation of this crime shows that justice in Serbia is selective, as well as that persons responsible for the execution of the Bytyci brothers are above the law.

The Fund for Humanitarian Law had also reacted in this regard.

MPB members have imprisoned the Bytyqi brothers on June 26th 1999 at Serbia's administrative line with Kosovo, while helping a Roma family cross into Serbia. From there they were sent to the Prokuplje District Court, where they were sentenced to prison for wrongdoing because of illegal crossing of the border. Following the trial suffering, on July 8, 1999, MPB members Milos Stojanovici and Sreten Popovi have imprisoned the Bytyqi brothers right at the exit of the prison. Official vehicles have taken them to the Police Special Unit Teaching Center ( Serbia's MPB's NPP at Petrovo Selo and closed them in a small space. For the next day, NN members of the MPB have been sent to a site under the teaching center, where the mass cemetery with mortore remains of murdered civilian Albanians brought earlier from Kosovo. Near the open cemetery, while their hands were tied with wire and their eyes covered with bandages, the police shot at their throat and then threw them into the open cemetery. Their bodies were found in the spring of 2011.

War Crimes Prosecutor (PKL), on August 23rd of 2006, has filed charges against former members of the 124 NPP Intervention Brigade Sreten Popovic and Milos Stojanovicki because of war crimes against prisoners of war. The District Court in Belgrade, on September 22nd 2009, has brought about the indictment, with which, in the absence of evidence, the accused were acquitted of the indictment. Following the prosecution's complaint, the Court of Appeals in Belgrade, on November 1st 2010, has filed the indictment and turned the course into the first-degree court for retrial. In the retrial, the Supreme Court in Belgrade, on May 9, 2012, has again brought about a free trial, and on January 18, 2013, The Court of Appeals in Belgrade has confirmed the liberation judgment. The trial has characterised the MPB's instructions and threats to police employees, who have testified during the trial.

According to evidence presented during the trial and publicly available data, the killing of Agron, Star and Mehmet has ordered current Interior Minister Vlajko Stojiljkoviqi. The order was forwarded through the chain of command to the execution. Former Public Security Reservary Chief Chief Vlastimir Djordjevici, sentenced by The Hague Tribunal for Crime in Kosovo, and commander The NPP and the Centre for Teaching at Petrovo Selo, while today the businessman, founder of the nongovernmental organisation Centre for the Study of Terrorism and member of the Serbian Progressive Party's Central Council, Goran Radosavljevic, Guri.

The murder of Mehmet, Star and Agron is subject to the investigative actions of the PKL and MPB now ten years. The continuation of failure to bring this case to light shows that perpetrators of crimes in Serbia from the 1990s are still stronger than institutions and rule of law. /Periscopi/
