Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti today visited the families of two activists, Salih Mëziu and Idriz Rrecaj, members of the group known as the “Group of Intellectuals,” who were abducted and forcibly disappeared by Serbian forces during the war in Kosovo.
The visits took place in the villages of Marinë and Llaushë, in the municipality of Skenderaj, days after the remains of the two activists, discovered in a mass grave in Zubin Potok, were identified through DNA analysis.
In a Facebook post, Kurti stressed that after more than 27 years of waiting and uncertainty, the families have finally received answers about the fate of their loved ones, but are still waiting for justice.
“These two families, like that of Adem Beqiri, who was buried on October 3, have received answers, but they need justice,” Kurti wrote.
The prime minister also recalled that more than 1,500 people remain missing from the last war in Kosovo, while their families continue to endure the pain and anguish of waiting.
He called for increased international pressure on Serbia, accusing it of concealing and denying crimes, as well as keeping closed records that could help establish the fate of missing persons.
According to Kurti, international pressure is essential to uncovering the truth and paving the way for justice for the victims and their families.
The prime minister’s visit comes at a time when the identification of the remains of missing persons is reopening the wounds of families who have waited for more than two decades to learn the fate of their loved ones.
