Kosovo will apply for membership in the Council of Europe in December of this year or in January of next year, Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj announced.
Hoxhaj said that the advantage for Kosovo is that the Council of Europe is chaired by countries that have recognized Kosovo's independence.
He added that the membership in this council can happen within two years and that Kosovo will benefit from this, as can being part of the Bologna process.
"The Council of Europe is one of the most important organizations in Europe after the EU. Kosovo is the only country from the region that is not part of the EC. There are four countries that have recognized Kosovo and preside over the Council of Europe".
"We are not part of the Bologna process even though we have reformed in the last 17 years. If we submit the application, we automatically become part of the Bologna process," said Enver Hoxhaj.

Batajnica mass graves
The Batajnica mass graves are mass graves that were found in 2001 near Batajnica, a suburb of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The graves contained the bodies of 744[1] Kosovar Albanians civilians that were killed during the Kosovo War.[2] The mass graves were found on the training grounds of the Yugoslav Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ).[3] Dead bodies were brought to the site by trucks from Kosovo; most were incinerated before burial.[4] After the war, SAJ restricted investigators' access to the firing range, and continued live-firing exercises whilst forensic teams tried to investigate the massacre.[5]
Background
[edit]The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), a nongovernmental organization based in Serbia and Kosovo, published in their research that the total number of killed during the Kosovo war (a length of time in the research studied from January 1998 to December 31, 2000) estimated at 13,517, when of this number of all killed or missing civilians were: 8 661 Kosovo Albanians, 1797 Serbs, 447 Roma, Bosniaks, and other ethnic minorities.[6][7]
Milica Kostić, who is a former researcher at the HLC and currently working at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, said in 2019 that still estimated over 1,600 people missing after the war of in Kosovo, from them: 1,100 Kosovo Albanians, around 450 Serbs, and over 100 Bosniak and Roma victims.[8]
Discovery of mass graves
[edit]The work of investigating the Batajnica mass grave began approximately in June 2001 when Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs showed the short video of the exhumation of parts of bodies in the Police Training camp located near the town of Batajnica.[9] The mentions of a mass grave discovered in Batajnica started to appear in the newspapers on September 19, 2001, when first 269 bodies were exhumed.[10][11]
The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), a human rights non-governmental organisation, documenting human rights violations happened on the territories of former Yugoslavia,[12] said in the dossier "The Concealment of Bodies Operation", that four mass graves were discovered in Serbia: at Batajnica (744 bodies — discovered in 2001), Kizevak (17 bodies discovered in 2020), Lake Perućac (84 bodies — discovered in 2001), Petrovo Selo (61 bodies — discovered in 2001),[13] and at Rudnica, a village near the border with Kosovo (52 bodies — discovered in 2013).[14][15]
The HLC said in the dossier "The Concealment of Bodies Operation", that the bodies of Kosovo Albanians were also secretly burned in two locations in Serbia: the Mačkatica Aluminium Complex near Surdulica, the Copper Mining And Smelting Complex in Bor. Also, HLC called the Feronikl Plant in Glogovac, where bodies of Kosovo Albanians were burned, that located in Kosovo's Drenica region.[16][15]
Press about the covert operation
[edit]As the Guardian's diplomatic editor Julian Borger claimed in his article in 2010:
Dejan Anastasijevic, an investigative journalist of the Serbian weekly Vreme, said in 2010 about the bodies found near an SAJ base in Batajnica, that there was the "sanitation" programme, involving the removal of thousands of bodies, that was carried out by Serbia's special counter-terrorist unit, SAJ, to hide war crimes.[17]
Investigation
[edit]Vlastimir Djordjevic's trial in ICTY
[edit]Vlastimir Djordjevic, who was a Serbian deputy interior minister[18] during Kosovo conflict in Kosovo in 1998 and 1999,[19] was under trial in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 2010[18] for his role in crimes against Kosovo Albanians, where he admitted that he knew about transferring bodies from one truck found in Danube, and burned bodies found in the second truck in the Lake Perucac, but he didn't know about actual killings. The two trucks were found with bodies of Kosovo Albanians, one in the Danube river in eastern Serbia in early April 1999, from which bodies were transferred to the police's Special Anti-Terrorist Unit Centre in Batajnica, second truck found in the Lake Perucac in western Serbia also in April 1999, from which bodies were burned nearby by Vlastimir Djordjevic. Vlastimir Djordjevic said in the trial he knew that he must investigate the findings of the two trucks, but didn't initiate investigation, that was illegal.[19]
He was sentenced to 18 years in jail for the cover-up operation to hide the dead bodies,[20][21] as well as for illegal persecution, deportation of Kosovo Albanians during the Kosovo war 1998-99.[19]
Investigation by Belgrade
[edit]Until present-day times (September 2021), nobody was accused in Serbian courts for the guilt of the concealment of the killed Kosovo Albanians.[22]
Documentaries
[edit]- "Depth Two" (Dubina Dva) is a documentary directed by Ognjen Glavonić about the mass grave in Batajnica with bodies of Kosovo Albanians, civilians, killed during Kosovo war, the mass grave was discovered in 2001.[2][23]
- "The Unidentified" is a documentary shot by Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN[24]). "The Unidentified" received the best short documentary award at the 2016 South East European Film Festival in Los Angeles. The film tells story of killing of Albanian civilians by Serbian fighters in Kosovo in 1999, whose remains were burned, some of them found at the Batajnica in 2001.[1][25]
Batajnica Memorial Initiative
[edit]There was created an online website, the Batajnica Memorial Initiative, to gather funds for creation of the Batajnica Memorial Site to commemorate the killed people. The virtual Batajnica Memorial Initiative is publishing photographs, documentary, data of killed people, whose bodies were found in Batajnica.[26]

The Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac (LAPMB; Albanian: Ushtria Çlirimtare e Preshevës, Medvegjës dhe Bujanocit, UÇPMB; Serbian: Ослободилачка војска Прешева, Медвеђе и Бујановца, ОВПМБ, romanized: Oslobodilačka vojska Preševa, Medveđe i Bujanovca, OVPMB) was an Albanian militant insurgent group fighting for separation from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for three municipalities: Preševo, Medveđa, and Bujanovac, home to most of the Albanians in south Serbia, adjacent to Kosovo. Of the three municipalities, two have an ethnic Albanian majority, whilst Medveđa has a significant minority of them.[3][4]
The UÇPMB's uniforms, procedures and tactics mirrored those of the then freshly disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The 1,500-strong paramilitary launched an insurgency in the Preševo Valley from 1999 to 2001, with the goal of joining these municipalities to Kosovo.[5] The EU condemned what it described as the "extremism" and use of "illegal terrorist actions" by the group.[6]
Background
[edit]In 1992–1993, ethnic Albanians created the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)[7] which started attacking police forces and secret-service officials who abused Albanian civilians in 1995.[8] Starting in 1998, the KLA was involved in frontal battle, with increasing numbers of Yugoslav security forces. Escalating tensions led to the Kosovo War in February 1998.[9][10][11]
History
[edit]After the end of the Kosovo War in 1999, a three-mile "Ground Safety Zone" (GSZ) was established between Kosovo (governed by the UN) and inner Serbia and Montenegro. Yugoslav Forces (VJ) units were not permitted there, and only the lightly armed Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs forces were left in the area.[12]
The exclusion zone included the predominantly Albanian village of Dobrosin, but not Preševo. Serbian police had to stop patrolling the area to avoid being ambushed. Ethnic Albanian politicians opposed to the KLA were attacked, including Zemail Mustafi, the vice-president of the Bujanovac branch of Slobodan Milošević's Socialist Party of Serbia who was later assassinated.[13][14]
Between 21 June 1999 and 12 November 2000, 294 attacks were recorded. 246 in Bujanovac, 44 in Medveđa and 6 in Preševo. These attacks resulted in 14 people killed (of which six were civilians and eight were policemen), 37 people wounded (two UN observers, three civilians and 34 policemen) and five civilians kidnapped. In their attacks, UÇPMB used mostly assault rifles, machine guns, mortars and sniper rifles, but occasionally also RPGs, hand grenades, and anti-tank and anti-personnel mines.[15]
The UÇPMB included child soldiers.[16]
On 4 March 2000, around 500 UÇPMB fighters attacked the city of Dobrosin. The battle resulted in one UÇPMB and one Serb fighter killed,[17] while another 175 were displaced.[18] On 21 November 2000, members of the UÇPMB attacked the city of Dobrosin and the surrounding villages. Heavy fighting resulted in the VJ retreating to Končulj, Lučane, and Bujanovac.[19][20] After four policemen were killed and two wounded by the UÇPMB, the VJ retreated back to the GSZ.[21]
On 6 January 2001, the UÇPMB took control of Gornja Šušaja,[22] and were well received by the locals. On 19 January, in command of Bardhyl Osmani, raided VJ positions near Crnotince.[23] On 20 January, the VJ launched an attack against the UÇPMB stronghold. The battle lasted for four days when VJ forces were forced to withdraw.[22][23]
On 13 May 2001, the VJ and Serbian police launched an attack on the UÇPMB in Oraovica before they entered Sector B. The fighting began at 6:10 am when Yugoslav troops entered the city. At 7:00 am, the UÇPMB attacked Serbian police and fired three rockets towards Oraovica and VJ positions. Attacks from the UÇPMB stopped at 8:00 am. On 14 May 2001, the Yugoslav troops captured the city after the UÇPMB attacked again at 2:15 pm.[24]
On 21 May 2001, members of the UÇPMB signed the Končulj Agreement, which resulted in the full demilitarization, demobilization, and disarmament of the UÇPMB.[25][26] The agreement stated that the VJ was allowed to enter the GSZ by 31 May 2001.[27][28] At the same time, the Serbian side agreed to sign the Statement on conditional amnesty for members of the UÇPMB, which promised amnesty to UÇPMB fighters on 23 May 2001.[29] After Shefket Musliu signed the Končulj Agreement, he stated:[30]
As the situation escalated, NATO allowed the VJ to reclaim the GSZ on 24 May 2001, at the same time giving the UÇPMB the opportunity to turn themselves over to the Kosovo Force (KFOR), which promised to only take their weapons and note their names before releasing them. More than 450 UÇPMB members took advantage of KFOR's "screen and release" policy, among them commander Shefket Musliu, who turned himself over to KFOR at a checkpoint along the GSZ just after midnight of 26 May 2001.[31]
Aftermath
[edit]With the signing of the Končulj Agreement in May 2001, the former KLA and UÇPMB fighters next moved to western Macedonia where the NLA was established, which fought against the Macedonian government in 2001.[5] Ali Ahmeti organized the NLA from former KLA and UÇPMB fighters from Kosovo, Albanian insurgents from the UÇPMB in Serbia, young Albanian radicals, nationalists from Macedonia, and foreign mercenaries.[32][33] The acronym was the same as the KLA's in Albanian.[32]
Another Albanian paramilitary organization Albanian National Army (ANA, AKSh) also had former UÇPMB fighters.[34] The group is associated with FBKSh (National Front for Reunification of Albanians), its political wing. The group participated in attacks against Macedonian forces with the NLA.[35][36] After the NLA disbanded, the ANA later went and operated in the Preševo Valley.[37]
