Last week we commemorated the 23rd anniversary of the Poklek and Old Chikatovo Massacres in which 77 unarmed Albanian civilians were killed and massacred. These massacres, like all other massacres in Kosovo, are undeniable evidence of war crimes, crimes against humanity and the genocide of the Serbian state against Albanians during the 1998/1999 war.

In this meeting, it was discussed the importance of documenting war crimes and the important role that the Institute for War Crimes will play in achieving this goal.

Prime Minister Kurti said that Serbia’s crimes in Kosovo can not be erased or forgotten, and that we need all of us, state organizations and institutions, civil society, independent researchers, and foreign experts, to engage in documenting and addressing tire.
