The German Ambassador in Pristina, Jorn Rohde, has joined the families of missing persons in solidarity on today's Missing Persons Day. The German diplomat said that 25 years after the end of the war in Kosovo, there is still a need for action and many fates remain unknown. "It is more than a pity that no progress has been made in the last three years due to the political blockade", wrote Rohde on the social network X. Today marks the 25th anniversary of the massacre in Meja i Gjakova, where on April 27, 1999 376 people were killed by Serbian forces.

That day, none of the detainees managed to get out of Meja alive, and after the war their butchered bodies, some were found in mass graves in Kosovo, while others in mass graves in Serbia. Despite the demands of family members and various organizations in Kosovo for their bodies to be returned from Serbia, this has been delayed by the Serbian state and has not yet been done.
