Sonja Biserko, Chairwoman of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, has stated that numerous undiscovered mass graves remain in Kosovo, which she argues serve as evidence of the extent of crimes committed during the war. Speaking to “Info Magazine” on Klan Kosova, Biserko noted that every discovery of a new grave brings to the forefront the issue of the Serbian state’s accountability, which she contends has not fully addressed its past actions. Biserko emphasized that many grave sites are yet to be located, and these sites are indicative of the magnitude of the atrocities allegedly committed by Serbia, not only in Kosovo but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
She stated that the ongoing nature of these findings necessitates a full reckoning with historical events. The persistence of these unexcavated graves, according to Biserko, underscores an unresolved dimension of transitional justice. The continual discovery of these sites compels a re-examination of the Serbian state’s responsibility for human rights violations during the conflict period.
Her statements suggest that international mechanisms and national accountability processes must continue to confront the historical record represented by these physical remnants. The focus remains on establishing a comprehensive understanding of the scale of wartime abuses through ongoing archaeological and forensic investigation.
