The letter was first sent to Nancy Pollos ʹ Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Eliot Engel to the chairman of the US Congress Foreign Affairs Commission.
In this letter, which will be sent to all parliaments of friendly countries, but also to the European Parliament, Chief Prime Minister Wessel has mentioned the numerous massacres and numerous crimes Serbia has committed in Kosovo.
It is internationally known that under Slobodan Milosevic's brutal regime, Albanians in Kosovo were victims and targets of systematic violence. As a result, about one million Kosovars, more than half of the population, have been forced to leave Kosovo, with another half a million displaced within the country. In total, about 90 per cent of the ethnic Albanian population became refugees or displaced persons. 13,535 were killed. Among them were 1230 children, including babies and other young children”, said among other things in Prime Minister Wessel's letter.
He has mentioned fate still unresolved for thousands of missing persons.
“over ten years of its existence, Kosovo has shown it is a peace-loving country and actively seeking positive relations with all its neighbours, including Serbia. However, I have to say, there is still much to be done to enable recovery, and part of that healing is to accept the truth”, said further in the letter of Chief Parliamentary Wessel.
Kosovo Assembly head Kadri Veselini has asked all countries to issue a resolution through which the truth of Serbian crimes is confirmed in Kosovo.
On behalf of the Kosovo Assembly, I would like to invite you and your colleagues to enable formal recognition of the historical injustice that has been done against my people. This can be done through a resolution that highlights and condemns crimes against humanity that have occurred in Kosovo”, says Wessel's letter.
