On January 29, 2015 the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) presented the “Rudnica” Dossier. The Dossier offers an insight into the evidence on four crimes committed in April and May 1999 in Kosovo by members of the Yugoslav Army (VJ) and the Ministry of the Interior (MUP), the victims of which were Kosovo Albanian civilians whose bodies were exhumed from the mass grave in Rudnica, as well as to present the evidence which points to those who participated in the operations of transporting and concealing the bodies at secret locations for 15 years.
At the time of the publication of this Dossier (January 2015), the mortal remains of 52 people were exhumed from Rudnica and identified. DNA analysis conducted on the remains has shown that they belong to Kosovo Albanians killed during the Kosovo conflict in 1999. According to a representative of the Commission on Missing Persons of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, search of the Rudnica site will continue if the relevant institutions come up with new data.

The Head of the EU Delegation in Serbia, Mr. Michael Davenport, speaks about Transitional Justice as an integral part of Serbia’s EU accession negotiations. He expresses the EU standpoint with regard to the dealing with the legacy of the armed conflicts and of the systematic violations of human rights committed during the wars in the former Yugoslavia, and the importance of the negotiation process for establishing and accepting the responsibility for the crimes committed. A view of Serbia’s EU accession negotiations as offering a potential springboard for the development and comprehensive application of adequate Transitional Justice mechanisms is offered by Jelena Krstić, the Humanitarian Law Centre’s Outreach Manager.
