In view of the HLC information on the number of killed and the missing in Kosovo that the Serbian media have falsely relayed, we are making the following statement:
By 15 October 2008, HLC had individually registered a total of 13,472 victims [9,260 Albanians, 2,488 Serbs, 470 victims of other ethnic background, and 1,254 victims whose ethnic background has not been determined] of murders and disappearances in Kosovo prior to, during the armed conflict, and immediately after the deployment of international troops in Kosovo (January 1998 – December 2000). Of the total number, HLC has confirmed the circumstances in which 8,879 victims were killed, or went missing by at least two independent sources. Of these 8,879 victims, 7,707 are Albanians, 822 are Serbs, and 350 victims are of another ethnic background.
