Acting President Albulena Haxhiu has said that documenting the truth is a moral obligation towards the victims of the war, for which she has announced a list of documents documenting massacres, deportations, sexual violence, imprisonments, torture, mass graves and other damages caused by Serbia.
While praising the work of the team of the Institute for War Crimes in Kosovo in compiling the first list of victims, Haxhiu emphasized that for years the data was scattered in various archives, in files of institutions and organizations, and in documents that families had kept themselves.
"The report presented these days is the first important evidence of this commitment. The institute has begun to create official evidence of victims, while work must continue with the documentation of massacres, deportations, sexual violence, imprisonments, torture, mass graves and other damage caused by Serbia during the war," she wrote on Facebook.
On July 29, 9,909 days after the liberation from Serbia, the Institute for War Crimes in Kosovo (IKKL) published a preliminary list of those killed, those who disappeared under duress, and those who died as a result of the war. Based on it, 11,407 people were killed, 242 died as a result of the war, and 1,578 people remain missing under duress.
The preliminary list includes a total of 13,227 killed, forcibly disappeared and those who died as a result of the war, of whom 12,230 until June 1999, and 997 after this period.
