Fifth Sitting of the Committee on Kosovo-Metohija
At the sitting held on 5 November, the members of the Committee on Kosovo-Metohija were briefed on the investigation and processing of the parties responsible for crimes committed in Kosovo-Metohija since 1998, with a special focus on the crimes against members of the Serbian people and security forces and other non-Albanians in Kosovo-Metohija, and on the cooperation on the matter between the relevant authorities of the Republic of Serbia and EULEX.
The Committee members were informed about the investigation of the crimes and processing of the responsible parties, as well as the difficulties impeding their work by Deputy Prosecutor for War Crimes Dragoljub Stankovic, President of the Missing Persons Commission of the Government of the Republic of Serbia Veljko Odalovic, Deputy Director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija of the Government of the Republic of Serbia Zeljko Jovic and representative of the Association of the Families of the Kidnapped and Killed in Kosovo-Metohija Simo Spasic.
In the ensuing debate the participants concluded that the progress of the investigation of the crimes committed on the territory of Kosovo-Metohija and the processing of those responsible is lagging and identified the problems the War Crimes Prosecutor’s Office deals with. They also discussed possible measures that can be employed to achieve better results in the investigation and processing of the parties responsible for the crimes, as well as a possible format of cooperation between the Committee on Kosovo-Metohija and the War Crimes Prosecutor’s Office. The Committee members then adopted the conclusions of the Committee’s fourth sitting, held on 28 October, while the conclusions of the fifth sitting would be adopted at one of the subsequent sittings.
The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairman MA Milovan Drecun.
