Cosnett in May: US-Kosovo friendship remains stable, criminals punished

No one doubts how deep or sustainable friendship is between the United States of America and Kosovo. America's support towards the goal of peace, justice and prosperity for Kosovo and Kosovo's neighbours remains stable. America's dedication to Kosovo's future represents a deep legacy for those who died so that Kosovo will be free”, he said.

These were told at the memorial gathering for the Kosovo Day of Apostles, which is being held the memorial complex in Meja, Gjakova.

Kostett said that Kosovo and neighbouring countries should agree to discuss the past, meaning that for this Serbia will plead guilty to crimes committed 20 years ago, while even in Kosovo to try those suspected of crimes, Ksp broadcasts.

For the sake of generations following, I urge the people of Kosovo and your neighbours to accept and discuss directly the dark moments of your common history. For some this means acknowledging the reality of the campaign of ethnic cleansing sponsored by the Milosevic regime, resulting in the murder and disappearance of thousands and ensuring that those responsible render full account. For the people of Kosovo, it must mean that you and your democracy maintain a higher principle and provide accountability to all those individuals who have committed crimes during and after the war despite the bitter reality that many other criminals elsewhere have avoided justice so far”, said Costnet.

According to him, it takes a greater commitment from Kosovo and Serbia to locate and return the bodies of the found persons by working in confidence with the international community to make public and act on all available information.
