“Today it has been 23 years since American citizens, the Bytyqi brothers, were arrested by Serbia's special police”, the embassy went.

This statement by the American Embassy in Serbia was confirmed today by the US State Department in Washington.
Ned Price, spokesman for US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, moving back to the American Embassy website in Belgrade, wrote that the American state would pressure to whiteen the murder case of the Bytyqi brothers. He sought justice for this murder.
