Head of the Serbian delegation at the Council of Europe (CoE) Parliamentary Assembly and Vice-President of the Assembly Milos Aligrudic announced today that this autumn, or next January at the latest, the Assembly will look at the problem of missing persons in Kosovo-Metohija.
Aligrudic, who has spent two days in the province and met with families of missing Serbs and other non-ethnic Albanians, told the Beta news agency that he expects that the debate at the CoE Parliamentary Assembly on missing Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija will exert pressure on international representatives in the province and make them start helping families of missing persons.
These families have no support from the international community, said Aligrudic after a visit to Kosovska Mitrovica, Strpce, Gracanica and Brezovica.
The initiative was initialled by Chairman of the Russian Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Konstantin Kosachev and Milos Aligrudic, after former Hague chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte published her book "The Hunt", in which she writes about human organ trafficking in Kosovo-Metohija.
Aligrudic recalled that several hundred Serbs from Kosovo and other non-ethnic Albanians are still missing.
