The government head demanded from the justice system an urgent address to cases carried out during the war, as he said the witnesses are increasingly elderly.

“I hope to store as much evidence for the crimes committed here in Kosovo. Meanwhile, the justice system from here I call once again for an urgent approach to cases committed during the war, because these crimes have never been outdated, but witnesses are increasingly older. Kosovo Police in the past have been treated in the context of serious crimes investigations”Kurt said.

We have allowed trial in the absence of war criminals since 2019. During this mandate we have made necessary legal changes for Serb war criminals to face justice, because these crimes, except they are not pardoned, never get old. And to document with accuracy all crimes we have functional the Crime Institute committed during the war in Kosovo, for which they have already opened, 25 positions of experts and officials working”He added.
