Kosovo Serbs marked the anniversary of the crime committed by Albanian terrorists
By laying flowers at the Truth Monument in Kosovo (North) Mitrovica, members of the Association of Families of the Kidnapped and Missing in Kosovo today marked the 22nd anniversary of the first mass abduction of Serbs in the province at the Belacevac surface mine in the vicinity of Obilic.
This was reported by the KosovoOnline portal, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We have heard various stories and false promises, and today we stand with lost hope, not to mention despair, that one day it will be found out where and when our loved ones died and where they are today,” the president said, speaking at the ceremony Association of Abducted and Missing Persons in Kosovo and Metohija Milorad Trifunovic. “Although some people celebrate births, baptisms, weddings, we cannot even remember them because it is unknown whether our mothers, fathers, sons, brothers are alive.”
According to Trifunovic, to this day the fate of 1 Serbs kidnapped in Kosovo remains unknown. However, he stressed that families will continue to look for their loved ones until the latest case of kidnapping of Serbs in Kosovo is investigated.
“These were young people who were abducted on their way to work,” recalled Petar Brakus from Nedakovec, who worked with the abducted people and was present at the ceremony. “The bus was stopped halfway, and they were taken to an unknown direction. We heard quite quickly and tried to react, but we were unable to find them, and since then there has been no trace or voice of them."
In 1998, near the Belacevac surface mine in the vicinity of Obilić, allegedly Albanian militants kidnapped ten people on a bus traveling to their shifts, eight of whom were miners. Subsequently, Western structures had difficulty hushing up the scandal related to the trafficking of human organs, which was carried out by militants of the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army. The involvement of the current “president” of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, in these crimes was stated by the prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, Carla del Ponte, and member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Dick Marty.
