“Institute needs 50 workers, an electronic database”, where did the indictment against Serbia remain for genocide?

Recognitions of this issue are stressing that refunctioning the Institute for War Crimes should happen as soon as 50 people are employed who would be on the ground.

Amer Alija said that gathering facts 24 years after the war is late, because this job has had to be done shortly after the war ended.

“Yes, we as we know the Institute for War Crimes, at the Ministry of Justice earlier in office, but a few years ago, this institute has been closed, now with the arrival of the new government, we have warnings and we have already legal changes, which are planning to open this Institute for the record of war crimes in Kosovo”.

Now how long will it take to document all war crimes, given that they are late, 24 years, these jobs have had to be documented and the facts gathered immediately after the end of the” war, Alija told EO.

Alija said the institute's primary goal would have to be to document all evidence and create an electronic database for them.

“... this Institute should also think about creating an electronic database, which will serve to connect all the evidence that they will document, which should connect to the crime scene, to the persons who have been killed, to the persons who have committed these other crimes, only digitally could become an arrangement of all evidence, that only the physical record has been a problem with the functioning of this institute, said Ali.

Although it says there is a Government's initiative for lawsuits against Serbia for genocide, the obstacle is Kosovo's failure to join the UN.

“We also have had an initiative or a warning of this government, that one of the initiatives has been the indictment against Serbia, already we know that for presuming or initiating such an indictment, we as a state have formal barriers because Kosovo is not a member, or member state in the UN, and only UN member states can initiate cases near this court. These tests, which will bring together the institute, will also be used as evidence which will link the genocide indictment against Serbia”, Alija said.

Meanwhile, historian Shkodran Imeraj said that the closure of the institute was wrong. He even says he will need 50 people employed to collect evidence to prepare general indictments against Serbia.

The key <x0misis has been that the former Haradinaj Government shut down the Institute for War Crimes and we already have a two-year effort by the current government to re-open the Institute for War Crimes and I consider that the Institute for War Crimes should have a staff of at least 50 workers and all of them go out on the ground and gather even these few remaining evidence and arguments I would say that general suit that our state should make against Serbia<1>

Imeraj, said KMDLNj immediately after the war has interviewed persons who have experienced massacres, but also scholars and organisations.

In addition to the Council for the Protection of Freedoms and Human Rights, which immediately after the war interviewed people or persons who have experienced massacres, I have been fortunate to have personally conducted studies in two massacres -- namely, in two municipalities, in Lübeniq and Rahovec Passe -- for example, the Council for Protection of Freedoms and Human Rights in Pec has done a very good job, which has interviewed all witnesses who have witnessed massacres throughout the Peja region, but so do we have at Prizren for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, who have gathered Kosovo's Google Freedoms, said.
