Prosecution, indictment against a suspect for war crimes in Kosovo

The Special Prosecutor's Office of Kosovo has filed an indictment against a suspect for war crimes against the civilian population during the war in Kosovo in 1998-99.

The prosecution accuses the suspect MP, who has dual Serbian and Kosovar citizenship, of participating in the murder of three civilians in a neighborhood in Prizren in 1998.

"The defendant is accused of having participated in the murder of the victims Reshat Daçaj, Binak Daçaj, Fatmir Bojaxhiu during the time of the war in Kosovo, around September 1, 1998, in the vicinity of the 'Hoqa Mahalla' Neighborhood, in Prizren," the announcement states. .

The prosecution charges him with the criminal offense of "war crime against the civilian population" .

The suspect is being held in custody until a new decision from the court, the announcement states.

Last December, the Special Prosecutor's Office of Kosovo said that it has filed a total of 33 charges, involving 89 people, for war crimes in Kosovo.

Since the end of the last war in Kosovo, about 70 people have been convicted of war crimes before local and international institutions.

From 2000 to 2008, war crimes in Kosovo were investigated by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), while from 2008, by the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX).

In 2018, this mission submitted the cases to the Kosovo Prosecutor's Office and local courts.

During the last war in Kosovo in 1998-99, over 13,000 civilians were killed and thousands more disappeared.

Over 1,600 people are still missing - most of them Albanians./ REL
