The government of Kosovo has not yet taken any concrete steps to file a genocide lawsuit against Serbia. This is how legal experts are evaluating, to which they also emphasize that Kosovo has no subjectivity for the exercise of this lawsuit.

Although the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, in May 2021 had stated that the government has started work on filing the lawsuit, now this issue has been kept silent and there is no information from the executive in this regard.

KosovaPress has been sending questions to the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Justice on this issue for days, but the latter have not returned any answers until the moment of publication of the text.

The Professor of International Criminal Law, Ismet Salihu, considers that such a thing is not expected to happen in this mandate, and even emphasizes that Kosovo needs three more years of work in this direction.

Important, according to the criminal law professor, is that the work for filing the lawsuit must be done in an institutional manner.

Professor Salihu considers that Kosovo has been delayed for no reason in the exercise of the lawsuit for genocide against the Serbian state.

From the Fund for Humanitarian Law in Kosovo, Amer Alija stated for KosovaPress that the Kosovo government has not taken any concrete steps to implement the genocide lawsuit against Serbia.

He considers that Kosovo has procedural obstacles to file such a lawsuit against Serbia, since according to him, Kosovo is not part of the United Nations of America.

Even Albana Hasani from Lévizja Fol, assesses that Kosovo has no subjectivity for submitting the lawsuit for genocide in the International Court of Justice.

Hasani declares that seeing the complexity of this issue, it is difficult to say that it was done for votes by the Prime Minister, Albin Kurti. 

Months ago, in an interview for KosovaPress, the Deputy Minister of Justice, Vigan Qorolli, stated that since Kosovo is not a member of the UN, they are looking at the possibility that another country may eventually file this lawsuit in the Court of Justice.

He said that Kosovo will make all the preparations and is doing so every day through the Institute, through the Ministry of Justice and through its institutional mechanisms, but currently Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations and is not a party to the International Court of Justice statute. of Justice.

In Kosovo, in the last war, around 13 people were killed, while according to the Fund's data, the bloodiest month was April 500, with the most massacres, and over 1999 people killed.
