Although seven months have passed since the adoption of reference terms for the Joint Commission for Missing Persons, the European Union has not yet managed to sit at a table representatives of Kosovo and Serbia.
Under the deal, the delegations of both countries have had to meet once a month during the first six-month period, but this has not happened for so long. However, a bilateral meeting between the two countries' working groups was held last week in Geneva, the first of its kind after more than four years, where EU representatives have also been present.
The chairman of the Government Commission for Missing Persons, Andy Hoti, sees this meeting as an important step towards an official meeting in Brussels and that according to him, the EU already has a clear case of missing persons and that it should call a joint Commission meeting as soon as possible.
The chairman of this European Union meeting is Peter Sorensen, or someone he delegates. It's a joint commission. Here is what demand we have made EU pressure go through Serbia, and through this mechanism they can make it”, Hoti said.
On the other hand, Bekim Blakaj from the Humanitarian Law Fund said that the fact itself
The failure to hold a single meeting within six months in Brussels is regrets and tells of the policy Serbia uses on the issue of missing persons.
The issue of missing persons is trained as political rather than humanitarian. Six months in a row, it has not yet agreed to hold a joint meeting as it is before, and this shows that the agreement is not being implemented”, Blakaj said.
At the working groups meeting held last week in Geneva, according to Hoti, there was no chairman of the Commission for Missing Persons in Serbia, Veljko Odalovic, for whom the Kosovo Government had insisted that this person should not be at the helm of this commission.
“Odalovic was not present at the meeting, which was held last week in Geneva, I was with the replacement that was replaced by Serbia”, Hoti added.
The Kosovo government months ago had also sent a letter to EU Foreign Affairs and Policy Representative Kaya Kallas to take clear steps that force Serbia to open state archives./Periscopi/
