The non-governmental organization Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) asked the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to pay tribute to the Albanians whose remains were found in Batajnica, at that location, and not in a closed-door meeting.

“President, these are the names of the victims whose remains were found in Batajnica. Pay homage to them at the place where their remains were found, and not in a closed-door meeting,” the HLC announced on Twitter with a link to the names of the victims identified.

This is a recent meeting between Vučić and representatives of the EU National Convention, a group of non-governmental organizations that oversee Serbia’s accession process. The meeting was held under ‘chat house’ rules, which means that participants can reveal the information they received but must not reveal the identity of the speaker.

However, after this meeting, several eyewitnesses said that the demonstration delivered mail to victims of the war in Kosovo, including Albanians whose remains were discovered in a mass grave in Batajnica, near Belgrade.

This was confirmed by Milan Antonijevic, Executive Director of the Open Society Fund in Serbia, who wrote on Twitter that “everyone in the room, including the President of Serbia, rose at the round table and observed a minute of silence to pay tribute to the victims. Albanians buried in a mass grave “. in Batajnica “.

Former Deputy Minister of Police and Head of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of the Interior (MUP) of Serbia, Vlastimir Djordjevic, was sentenced to a total of 27 years in prison by the Hague Court for war crimes in Kosovo, including the transfer of bodies of dead Kosovar Albanians to mass graves. . Later, that sentence was reduced to 18 years. He was solely responsible for the four common graves found, while there were no legal proceedings for these crimes before the internal judiciary.
