News Summary
OSCE report on crimes in Kosovo
According to AFP, on 6 December, the OSCE will present a report on crime in Kosovo. It states that crimes in Kosovo did not have a general character until the beginning of the NATO air campaign on Yugoslavia. The OSCE admits that there were no random murders of ethnic Albanians before the NATO strikes. Mass killings started on the night of 24-25 March, when the air strikes began. Until then, Serb military and paramilitary forces had been concentrating their might on KLA forces and bases. The OSCE did not repeat the assessment by former OSCE Verification Mission Head William Walker concerning the murder of 45 Albanians in Racak in January. According to Walker, it was a crime against humanity. That massacre caused the loathing of the international public and changed its attitude toward the authorities in Yugoslav and Belgrade. Walker condemned the massacre in Racak and called on the ICTY to investigate. The long list of victims includes young Albanians capable of bearing arms, women and children. In the meantime, the desire for revenge has transformed the Kosovo Serbs into the greatest victims of human rights violations.
