The EU envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak, has warned that this week the first meeting of the Joint Commission on the issue of missing persons will be held in Brussels. The parties have promised that sophisticated methods and equipment will be used to investigate areas suspected to be cemeteries of citizens killed and disappeared during the war of 98-99.
The Chairman of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons, Andin Hoti, has stated for A2CNN in writing that the meeting is aimed at determining the work plan for the next sessions, as well as addressing some important issues regarding the issue of missing persons. In this context, the Kosovo delegation will present some key requests, which are mainly related to the monitoring of the implementation of the Declaration on Missing Persons, with a special focus on the letter for the opening of Serbia's archives. However, experts view the confrontation in Brussels with skepticism.
As for the fulfillment of the plan agreed earlier in Brussels, for the use of specialized equipment for the discovery of mass graves, Shkodra underlines that everything will depend on the will of the president of Serbia.
This meeting is an important step towards the implementation of the existing agreement 'Declaration on Missing Persons' approved on May 2, 2023. (A2 Televizion)
