RECOM Consultations

HLC Kosovo is coordinating consultations for the RECOM idea which are organised by several organisations. Background:
- In the post-Yugoslav societies war crimes committed by the other side in the conflict are often talked about, even more often exaggerated, while the authorities continue to relativize, minimize, or justify the crimes committed against opposing sides in the conflict.
- Identification and solidarity with members of the same community accused of war crimes is very strong, while members of other communities suspected of committing war crimes are accused arbitrarily.
- Victims are being forgotten and the public only hears about them during state sponsored ceremonies.
- The fate of 16,252 missing persons is still unclear and a number of gravesites are still undisclosed.
- There is no political interest to establish the facts about the events of the past, and the much-needed pressure of the free-thinking public is still missing.
