Prishtina, 31 July 2026
Today, the Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, appointed Mr Agron Limani as Chair of the Government Commission on Missing Persons.
Agron Limani has been an activist dedicated for more than two decades to seeking truth and justice for persons who were forcibly disappeared. He is the co-author of the monograph The Village That Was Killed, which documents the massacre in Krusha e Vogël. The publication has been used by judicial institutions as evidence in the case that resulted in the conviction of Darko Tasić.
During the war, Agron Limani served as a soldier of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). His brother was killed, while his father, uncle and cousin (his uncle’s son) remain missing to this day. They are among the 60 people who remain unaccounted for following the massacre committed by Serbian armed forces in the village. His mission to seek truth and justice began with his leadership of the “26 March 1999” Association for the Investigation of Abducted Persons.
Despite the continuous obstacles and obstruction by Serbia, we remain committed and steadfast in our efforts to establish the truth, with the aim of clarifying the fate of each and every one of our loved ones who were forcibly disappeared during the last war, and of ensuring that justice is served.
While the recent excavations in Kalludër, Zubin Potok, are entirely the result of the work of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, we reiterate our call for international pressure on Serbia to implement the 2 May 2023 Declaration on Missing Persons, in particular by opening the archives of its security forces, including reversing the decision to classify those archives for a period of 30 years, until 2044, specifically by granting access to the archives of the 37th Motorized Brigade of the Yugoslav Army.
