Former IML Director: When I started working, there were 6440 missing people, when my mandate ended, 1617 remained.

Former director of the Kosovo Institute of Legal Medicine (IMLK), Education Gerjaliu, on the “Real Talk with Maxhun”, which is transmitted to Periscope and T7, has talked about one of the most painful processes in post-sulf Kosovo, about missing persons. Gerjaliu has indicated that since June 12, 1999, the work of [...] has begun.
Gerjaliu has indicated that since June 12th 1999, his work to find those killed in the war by Serbian forces has begun.
It's perfectly known to them that I'm talking about when I was part of this process. Since June 12th, when NATO first entered, after the day of release in the village of Luqara I have become part of the process of extinction. At the time, the Red Cross also has the primatitis of the list of disappearances, and that list has served as the work of joint Kosovo and Serbian commissions. Because we have only had communication with Serbia through the Red Cross because of Serbia's political flows and behaviours that allegedly do not recognise Kosovo and communication has gone through the Red Cross”, Gerjaliu has pointed out.
According to Gerjaliu, when he started work, there were 6 thousand and 440 missing people, and when he completed his term, it was a thousand and 617.
The original “List started with 60,000 and 440 names of disappearances, so it was after the war. In the meantime, it has been added new names because there have been several periods since various organisations after the war have gone and taken an interview, he has told them of the occasion of having someone disappear and thought someone would deal with it and in fact not because they had the brief mission. The list has been dedicated, added by more names, because the beginning has been 6 thousand and 440 extinct, and until August 30, 2021, where my first mandate ended, I left the process with a thousand and 617 missing persons, he said.
Gerjaliu has added that during the repatriation, a relatively missing pernon has been missing.
The list is the efficiency as it has the Government Commission and the Legal Medicine Institute at stake is also the International Red Cross, which means a common list of jobs. It is known exactly where we are still missing, for example, if we take over Belgrade's repatriation cases of Batajnica, Petrovoselles, where we have a completely missing number of people missing from those groups”, he said.
