Today, Minister of Justice Nela Kuburović and Minister of Health Zlatibor Lončar visited the Association of Families of Kidnapped and Missing Persons in Kosovo and Metohija and the Kosovo and Metohija Victims Memorial Room. Minister Kuburović noted that the Serbian victims and their families had not found justice in the international criminal courts for the crimes committed against them. She noted that the Tribunal in The Hague, the mandate of which had terminated several days before, had been selective in its work. “Serbia will remain dedicated to processing war crimes. If you found no justice in the Tribunal, I hope that the Serbian organs will finalise the initiated proceedings”, Kuburović stressed.
She added that one of the opportunities to find justice which the families of the victims now had was the new court in The Hague mandated to prosecute crimes of the KLA. She said she believed that the court would raise its first charges at the beginning of the year, as announced. She expressed hope that the families of the victims would find some satisfaction in having the perpetrators of the most heinous crimes held accountable.
Minister Lončar stated that the families were expecting concrete actions and that the present government would certainly do much more for them than the previous governments had done. “The next step would be to present you with specific plans of action“, Lončar highlighted.
The President of the Association Simo Spasić said that one of the families’ requests was to have a monument raised to the kidnapped and missing persons in Kosovo and Metohija.
