The Chief Negotiator of the Republic of Kosovo, Agron Bajrami, has reported formally communicating Kosovo’s concerns to the European Union Special Representative for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Peter Sørensen. The focus of the communication centers on developments related to individuals who remain missing from the conflict period of 1998–1999. Via a post on the X platform, Bajrami stated that he urged the European Union to ensure that Serbia adheres fully to its established obligations outlined in the Declaration on Missing Persons.
According to the Chief Negotiator, these mandatory obligations encompass several critical components. Paramount among these is granting unrestricted access to all relevant archives pertaining to the period. Furthermore, the declaration mandates the protection of all individuals who come forward with information that could assist in determining the fate of the missing persons.
Bajrami emphasized that these steps are necessary components of the ongoing dialogue concerning the region. The formal conveyance of these concerns underscores Kosovo’s continued diplomatic efforts to secure accountability and transparency regarding the whereabouts of those who disappeared during the conflict. The communication serves as a diplomatic appeal, channeling specific legal and archival requirements through the EU framework to address the issue of missing persons involving both Kosovo and Serbia.
