April 27 in Kosovo marks the Day of the Missing. Also, today marks the 23rd anniversary of the massacre in Meja of Gjakova, where on April 27, 1999, 376 people were killed. In their honor, the Government Committee on Missing Persons will lay wreaths in front of the monument to the missing persons. The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, will pay homage at the Obelisk of the Missing and then in Meja in Gjakova. The fate of more than 1,600 people forcibly disappeared from Serbia during the war in Kosovo is still unknown. Despite requests from family members and various organizations in Kosovo for their bodies to be returned from Serbia, this isuue has been dragging by the Serbian state and has not yet been done.
