Osmani: Preparation of genocide indictment against Serbia requires deep research

Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani declared today that Slovenia has never had an attitude to change Kosovo's borders.

We must have confidence. Regardless of who can push ahead to change borders or publish such equipment, Kosovo representatives will never support them”, she said at a joint media conference with Slovenian President Borut Pahor.

Osmani has also spoken of the indictment warned against Serbia at the international court.

For anyone I know about the massacres of Serbia in Kosovo, a clear position is drawn that the purpose of Serb forces was extinction. The part of court preparation requires extremely deep research. We will cooperate with each state that helps us establish justice”, Osmani has said.

The Kosovo government is planning at the end of 2022 to file charges against Serbia for genocide committed in Kosovo during the last war.

In his exhibition, Prime Minister Albin Kurti, on the occasion of gaining confidence from the Kosovo Assembly in forming the government on March 22nd, has declared that during his government mandate, it aims to realise the establishment of the Serbian genocide indictment at the International Court of Justice.

“We are convinced that Serbia has committed genocide in Kosovo in the last war in Kosovo, and this deserves an indictment, and that the government of the Republic of Kosovo has an obligation to prepare for it”, Kurti said following the adoption of his government programme.

Kurti said preparations for the “indictment are huge because such a case cannot and should not be lost”.

The Kosovo Government's warning of genocide indictment against Serbia prompted Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, who said that “Kosovo cannot do so, since it is not a member of the United Nations Organisation”.

You can only do this through another country, which is Albania, and that means joining Albania. I urge the Kosovo Albanians not to do so”, Vukiq said.

Otherwise, in 1999, Croatia filed charges against Serbia in the JND for genocide during the 1991-1995 war. In 2010, Serbia presented a counter-suit to the Croatian state. In 2015 The JND ruled that neither Serbia nor Croatia have committed genocide against each other. As for Srebrenica, in 2007, the International Court of Justice in The Hague found that the killings of about 8 thousand Bosnian Muslims have constituted genocide, but the Court said, Serbia had not prevented genocide and at the same time there was not enough evidence that Serbia had direct responsibility for it.
