Kosovo officials convened at the Monument to the Missing Persons to observe the International Day of Missing Persons, focusing specifically on those who disappeared during the conflict in Kosovo. Attendees included the Deputy President of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, the Minister of Interior, Xhelal Sveçla, and other institutional representatives. During the commemoration, Albulena Haxhiu addressed the ongoing national concern regarding the unidentified individuals.
She stated that the search for the missing persons remains an unresolved issue, noting that over 1,500 individuals remain unaccounted for following the war. Haxhiu emphasized the prolonged hardship faced by the families awaiting news of their loved ones, a wait that has spanned nearly three decades. “There are still over 1,500 persons missing due to the war who have not yet been found,” stated Haxhiu.
She added that for the families, the period of uncertainty continues, and for the Republic of Kosovo, the issue represents an open chapter that cannot be considered closed until every individual is located. The gathering underscored the enduring need for accountability and resolution concerning these cases. The participation of high-ranking officials highlighted the state’s continued commitment to investigating and identifying all missing persons.
Haxhiu’s remarks framed the search not merely as a historical task, but as an ongoing commitment to national reconciliation and justice for all affected families.
