Statement for the disappearances “

And the controversy in public opinion was about the term used in this statement and the third point, which says that “Piles will engage to ensure full access to reliable and precise information that helps find and identify missing persons within January 1, 1998, December 31st, 2000”, saying that Kosovo's state with Serbia was equated here.

This statement in which the parties have agreed to commit themselves to dawning the fate of missing persons from the recent war in Kosovo obliges Serbia to take over the opening of archives, including classified documents, on the whereabouts of missing persons.

But whether the terms used in this statement are referring to international conventions and whether there are evens, the lawyer, Taulant Hodaj for Dukaj Portal, has said both terms mean the same as the force or violent disappearance.

urist Hodaj has said that in international conventions and reports on the issue of missing people, these terms are often met and both terms are used depending on different conflicts.

“In international conventions and reports on the issue of missing persons often meet these terms and use both terms depending on different conflicts. Depending on the grammatical use of words such as, name, surname or verb”, Hodaj said.

Hodaj not too optimistic that Serbia will open archives transparently

Among other things, he has said that with the approval of this statement in Brussels, where Serbia is forced to open archives is an important step for Kosovo and, according to him, a major step towards the dawning of the fate of the missing.

“The opening of archives is especially important for Kosovo. If the opening of archives without manipulation from Serbia occurs then this will be an extraordinary thing and a big step towards whiteling the fate of the missing”, he has said.

But Hodaj is not very enthusiastic that Serbia will do the opening of archives, as according to him, Serbia will usually make flattery and manipulation.

“But I am not enthusiastic that Serbia will make the opening of the archives transparently, because how it usually will make flattery and manipulation”.

What challenges Kosovo will face in providing the eventual testimony, Hodaj has said may have a problem in this part, since “has not been a state and has not been anything organised”.

Muhariri: Expected for Serbia to sabotage this topic 

While political expert Artan Mujariri has said it is expected that Serbia will sabotage this subject, as confrontation with it will lead to the opening of archives and the historical clarification of the nonhuman state criminal strategies that have been implemented by “polica, its military and police in the 1990s.

Muhaxhiri in an answer to the Dukajini Portal has said Kosovo institutions should necessarily keep the point of the found as a priority on the agenda of talks.

Kosovo's “Institutions should necessarily keep the point of the found out as priority in the agenda of talks. It is expected that Serbia will sabotage this thesis, as the confrontation with it will lead to the opening of archives and the historic clarification of nonhuman state criminal strategies that have been carried out by its politics, military and police in the 1990s”, Muhramir has said.

According to Muharnir, the Declaration of Missing Persons is a good opportunity for correcting mistakes from the past, but everything will depend on implementing mechanisms in reality as it added that unless applied on the ground this agreement turns into failure and frustration.

“This should be the focus of our government, as without precise deadlines and continued supervision of the performance of developments on the ground, even this agreement would turn into further failures and frustration”, he has continued.

Asked what concrete steps Kosovo institutions must take, he has said the essence lies in direct conditioning Serbia's progress on the European road to connect with its obligation to witness constructiveity in creating conditions for identifying and approach of specialised teams in countries where the existence of mass cemetery is suspected.

According to him, the issue of missing persons represents the greatest collective trauma of post-war and that it has never been addressed with the utmost seriousness.

Unfortunately, this collective trauma has never been addressed with merited seriousness. Since 1999, neither the Kosovo nor the international institutions have made maximum commitments towards achieving justice for the disappearances and devout prayers of family members”, it has ended.

For the term used for the disappearance in this statement, the head of the Government Commission for Missing Persons, Andy Hoti, has also provided details.

He has stressed the inclusion of the term “that disappeared by force” in the declaration, which he claims is a clear indication of Serbia's state crimes in Kosovo until he has criticised statements on the sides' draw.

I don't know why before publicly declared you don't think! Kosovo has not been a wartime state. And as a result, Kosovo has no document of war for these crimes in possession of its” institutions, he has said.

According to him, by means of this statement Serbia has not been acquitted of anything, but has been blamed for crimes against the people of Kosovo.

He has said that each Government in Kosovo has done its best in relation to missing persons and that the only blame for these crimes is Serbia.

Otherwise, on May 2nd, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, with the mediation of European officials at their meeting in Brussels under the dialogue, have adopted the Declaration of Extinction during the recent war in Kosovo.

The declaration envisions several commitments to the parties, which could lead to the dawning of the fate of over 1,600 people who continue to remain missing from the 1998/99 war.

Borell said the EU welcomes its approval and expects the <x0pales to make tangible progress in closing the cases of missing persons”.

“Selecting the issue of missing persons is not only a humanitarian obligation. It is also an essential opportunity for reconciliation and trust among people”, Borrell said, among other things.
