Kosovo Town Files More War Crimes Complaints Against Serbs

The Kosovo municipality of Gjakova/Djakovica's Office for the Collection and Documentation of War Crimes submitted 102 new criminal complaints against alleged Serbian war criminals to Kosovo police on Monday.

This was the 13th batch of criminal complaints filed by the municipal office in Gjakova/Djakovica about war crimes by Serbs, bringing the total number to around 1,600.

"There are various cases including physical mistreatment, murders and the destruction of property," the head of the office, Shkendije Hoda, told media in Pristina after submitting the complaints.

"The aim of these complaints is to provide help and provide evidence about [war] crimes. We see that the police have the will to deal with our evidence," Hoda added.

More than 10,000 ethnic Albanian civilians were killed during the war in Kosovo, and hundreds of thousands expelled. Some of the victims were later found in concealed mass graves in Serbia.

About 1,600 people are still listed as missing, mostly ethnic Albanians but also some Serbs.
