Five days after that, on May 2nd in Brussels, under the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue summit, according to emissar Miroslav Lajcak's announcement, the Joint Declaration for Missing Persons is officially adopted.
The document that has not yet been made public according to the Kosovar side includes the term “persons, which has so far been denied by the Serb side.
The joint statement states that Belgrade agrees with the opening of military-cop archives that are thought to whitewash the fate of over 1,600 people on the list of found missing persons in war.
“We are skeptical with the right to say because Serbia will never allow it to open archives without a major pressure from the international community. Because Serbia has everything well documented.
