Gashi: The goal of cooperation between Pristina and Sarajevo another UN resolution against Serbia

Lawyer Tome Gashi assesses for Kosovo Online that the goal of signing the cooperation agreement between the Institute for War Crimes in Pristina and the Memorial Center in Srebrenica is to bring about another UN resolution against Serbia.

"Since we already have a United Nations resolution for war crimes in Srebrenica, I think everyone from the former Yugoslavia should have the same goal – to uncover all the crimes, whoever committed them, but in this situation, we are talking about the Serbian army," Gashi says.

He adds that "it is not in the interest of the Serbian people to hide these crimes."

"25 years after liberation, there is cooperation with everyone who contributes to peace in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and I think that is in the interest of all peoples in any territory. I believe the goal is to prepare and possibly bring about another resolution by the United Nations against Serbia for crimes, for the genocide that was committed during the war in Kosovo," the lawyer from Pristina says.

He explains that this would give Pristina satisfaction "as they got in Srebrenica," but that it also opens the way for lawsuits in international courts.

"It must be known what happened during the war in both Kosovo and Bosnia, especially when we talk about Srebrenica. You see that it was concealed for almost 30 years, but in the end, the United Nations verified it and passed a resolution on the crimes, the genocide that was committed in Srebrenica, and I think this contributes to peace, not the opposite," Gashi states.
