The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, received Martin Schüepp, Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The central topic of the meeting was the issue of missing persons from the recent war in Kosovo, which is the main reason for Schüepp's visit to Kosovo and the region. Schüepp said it is very important for people who have experienced war events to share them with others, because more can be understood about what happened. A press release from the Prime Minister's Office states that "Prime Minister Kurti said that the issue of missing persons is an open wound and still unhealed. As he said, “it is very important to open the state archives of Serbia, because the crimes were not committed by individuals, but by the Serbian state."
