KOSOVO - DISAPPEARANCES OF NON-ALBANIANS 24TH MARCH - 10th
AUGUST 1999
From 24th March until 10th August 318
non-Albanians were reported missing. Their fate remains unknown. With the exception of
several cases reported before the end of may, the majority of kidnappings happened after
the KFOR arrived to Kosovo. During the months of July and August 10 Serbs, who were
kidnapped by the armed Albanians, were released. 19 kidnapped Serbs were killed and their
bodies found and identified.
More than 1 500 Albanians, the majority of them
from Djakovica area, were reported missing from the beginning of the NATO campaign in FRY
until the withdrawal of the police, the Yugoslav Army and the paramilitary troops from
Kosovo. There are certain indications that there is a significant number of Albanians in
various prisons around Serbia.
