“Our country still has open wounds, not only because of the impunity of crime planners and executors of monstrous crimes during the recent war in Kosovo by Serbian military and paramilitary forces, but also because of the issue of missing persons and the compensation of crime victims” said Minister Hoxha, pointing out that this issue remains a challenge for the Kosovo justice bodies.
 
On the other hand, senior adviser to the Global Criminal Justice office, Ari Bassin, stated the importance of punishing the crimes, giving support to President Thaçi’s initiative, “On Truth and Reconciliation”, as well as the compensation of crime victims in the recent Kosovo war.
 
Minister Hoxha noted that there are still very few allegations against the perpetrators of monstrous crimes committed against the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, highlighting the challenges of this process, but also the willingness of Kosovo institutions to compensate the crime victims.
