Refunctional redeployment of the War Crimes Research Institute is urgently required

This Institute for Investigation of War Crimes was established in 2011.

But, with the Kosovo government's decision, then Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, it was closed in 2018. The institute has published several books on the killings, on missing persons, on Serbian genocide, as well as the destruction of Albanian monuments and property.

I am urgently repeating it once again, you have to re-enter the Institute for Investigation of War Crimes because the crimes committed in Kosovo are the most serious crimes since World War II, it's very serious crimes and it would be a crime again if we don't make the investigation of these crimes and their identity for the present generations, especially for the future to show what sacrifice has been made for the release of Kosovo”, He spoke of EO.

Regarding the country's capacities to investigate these crimes, Salihu said it should become a systematic organisation and says it is ironic if data is required regarding the number of murders, violations and injuries and are not found.

The situation of the Institute according to Salih is very bad, naming it necessary for crimes to be documented.

With the goal of documenting war crimes in 2011, the Kosovo Government had established the Institute for Investigation of War Crimes (IHKL), which was operational by 2018.

In Kosovo, according to the Fund for Humanitarian Law, more than 13 thousand and 500 are estimated to be the number of persons killed and missing during the 1998 and 1999.
