The U.S. Embassy in Prishtina has expressed support for efforts to investigate war crimes and ensure justice for victims, after Kosovo’s caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti called on Serbia to open the files of the former Yugoslav Army’s 37th Motorized Brigade.
Kurti has urged Serbia to release the brigade’s records, amid allegations that the unit was involved in massacres committed in Drenica and other parts of Kosovo during the 1999 war.
Responding to the issue, the U.S. Embassy in Prishtina told Klan Kosova that it continues to support efforts to investigate wartime crimes and pursue justice for victims and their families.
“The U.S. Embassy continues to support efforts to investigate war crimes and bring justice to the families of war victims,” the embassy said.
“Every family deserves answers about the fate of their loved ones,” the embassy added.
The statement comes amid renewed calls for Serbia to provide access to wartime records that could help clarify the fate of those killed or missing during the Kosovo war.
Kurti’s demand regarding the 37th Motorized Brigade is part of broader efforts in Kosovo to establish accountability for crimes committed against civilians in 1998–1999 and to obtain information about the whereabouts of missing persons.
