Periskopi(9 months ago)
(9 months ago)The head of the Government Commission for Missing Persons, Andy Hoti, on the International Force Missing Day in Kosovo, said they are in Geneva, Switzerland, where before the United Nations, they are crying for justice and truth for thousands of families whose loved ones are missing. [...]
Hoti said they are seeking help from the European Union, the United Nations and all justice institutions to force Serbia to hand over the archives so that I no longer hold the families of missing persons who continue to seek their loved ones.
Our 1584 family members are still missing. Our hopes are not lost, they never disappear, they will never die. Based on current developments occurring both in Brussels and in Kosovo, the current Serbian regime is very opposed to co-operation in the field of information or archives we are looking for”.
The “consistently, at any meeting that we have with both the Serbian side or even with Brussels, we are continuing to demand that the international community step in to impose it, not beg and pressure Serbia, but force it to open the archives”, Hoti said in Klan Kosova.
On the other hand, he said that in September they expect to go to Kozhle in Serbia, the location that Serbia has pledged to allow the Government Commission for Missing Persons to enter.
We haven't received a definite response yet, since in September we are waiting to go to the Kozhle location, which I've mentioned several times that it was one of the locations Serbia pledged to allow us to enter”.
We have a very challenging time to return to Batajnica that we are seeking to return to because of the suspicions we have that there are bodies of missing persons left. I am convinced that with constant pressure both the tone and the international community will also reach”, Hoti said.
