“Unable to be priority in dialogue, this issue was ignored”

Griqevci in an interview for Online Economics added that even the frequent change of powers, but experts have caused this issue to drag on so far.

“As far as Kosovo institutions are concerned, there is also the process of changing governance and commissions, especially for war crimes, the Law Medicine Institute, the war crimes police, and I've actually begged you, the current institutions not to touch in those areas where they should be experts because we don't need chocolate, but for researchers and experts. Although governments have changed, experts have not had to be changed, there must be vision because 22 years are too long, and family members need justice and a law”, Grejqevci said.

The expectations of Albin Kurt's governance in contrast with past governments are greater than Grejqevci's, because according to him, he was a member of the Council and knows these processes. “We don't know what is dialogueed in Brussels on the issue of missing persons. Kurt has been a member of our council since 2000, and he knows this very well, I expect more from him just for his announcement of this process, I hope it won't be like previous governments by not giving any importance to”, he said.

Local and international institutions, he says, ignored the issue, and the fate of the found ones still remains unresolved.

This subject is extremely sensitive to them, they are anxious, and they expect much from us. As far as institutions have done nothing but have been able to do more especially the international community, knowing the crime that has been committed to Albanians and putting pressure on those who do not show where those troops are, he stressed.

On the other hand, Kosovo Law Medicine Institute Director Arsim Gerjaliu stressed that the challenge is no easy dialogue with the Serbian side.

The first of the night of March 24 begins the opening of wounds and reminders of family members, even though most of these manifestations are involved and we simply distinguish two bos of family members, those who still wait for their relatives to have some news, and those who have actually buried”.
“From 2003 we have dialogue meetings with the Serbian side and it is not easy to discuss with them, on the other hand we lack information about the possibility of the cemetery and the place in which those bodies are buried in the recent war in Kosovo”, Gerjaliu said.

Gerjaliu stressed that despite the change of commissions as a result of the government's frequent change, they have still held numerous working groups, thus counting over 134 meetings. Contrary to the Serbian side, the commissions to us have been changed almost every time governments were changed and I think that such a commission would have to be made up of permanent persons, because this job is related to the past”

We've had over 134 meetings under the processing group and in professional groups from 2003 to now”. According to him, the pandemic has caused their work to be penalised in some respects, but that field work has continued only in cases where conditions are not in their favor. We've been penalised in many ways, but we've worked hard, by three field teams I've had, we know that often because of weather conditions, we need to stop, but now it's known when we're going to get back to work on the planned” territories, he's done.
