"He was late all day and didn't come", Ali Havolli confesses about his brother, whom he has been waiting for since March 28, 1999. The sufferings he has experienced these 25 years, he says he does not wish even on the enemy. With tears in his eyes, he tells about his 29-year-old brother, Skender Havolli, whom he last saw on Eid Day. Ali confesses that there have been no more celebrations or joys for him, however he emphasizes that he has not lost hope. In his story for KosovaPress, the man in his seventies speaks of his disappointment with the work done by the local authorities in the process of clarifying the fate of the missing persons. The Governmental Commission for Missing Persons says that they are insisting that Serbia provide information, however the chairman Andin Hoti says that he doubts that the European Union takes the issue of missing persons seriously.

Ali Havolli from Fushe Kosovo every day waits for some information about his brother, who was taken by three masked Serbs.

For 25 years he never stopped looking for his brother, whom he called "Kendi". After the war, he informed the International Red Cross and gave the samples, but he is still waiting.

He also speaks with disappointment about the work of local institutions, while holding Skender's photograph in his hands, as the only sign of him.

For over 1,600 missing persons, Ahmet Grajqevci from the Coordinating Council of Family Members of Missing Persons says that Serbia knows their locations.

For all these years of waiting, Grajqevci adds that the family members are experiencing anxiety and trauma.

More than a year has passed since the approval of the declaration on missing persons, but the chairman of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons, Andin Hoti, declares that not a single step has been taken.

Over 1,600 people are still considered missing from the last war in Kosovo. /Sh. Pajaziti
