Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said today that after Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe (CoE), the families of the missing will be able to sue Serbia at the European Court of Human Rights.
"After joining the Council of Europe, all families will have access to the European Court of Human Rights, they will be able to sue Serbia for violating the right to life of family members, for violating the right to human dignity and many other rights. Membership in the Council of Europe will benefit all citizens , but mostly to families who were denied justice for 25 years," Osmani said during the commemoration of the Day of the Missing.
Osmani accused Serbia of hiding traces of crimes even today, 25 years later.
"The president of the government commission, Andin Hoti, repeatedly sent letters to Serbia in which he requested that, in accordance with the agreement in Brussels, they open police and military archives in which there is clear evidence of participation in massacres, but also in the post-war operation to hide the remains. Serbia still always continues to violate this very important agreement reached in Brussels," she said.
She said that the institutions of Kosovo will continue to be with the families and to "share the pain, because all 1.600 missing are members of the families of all of Kosovo".
"It is our wound, the wound of Kosovo that will remain open until everyone returns. Freedom will be complete only when all our loved ones return to us," concluded the Kosovo president.
