Kosovo police announced on Monday that they have arrested a suspect for war crimes and sexual violence during the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo.<\/p>\n

The suspect, of Serbian nationality with the initials Z.N, was arrested on Monday afternoon in North Mitrovica during a joint operation between the Police and the Special Prosecutor’s Office of Kosovo, the Police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He is suspected of having committed the crimes during 1999 in the city of Vushtrri and is accused of the criminal offense of “war crimes against the civilian population – sexual violence”, the communiqu\u00e9 states.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor has decided to keep the 70-year-old in custody for 48 hours, after he was interrogated in the presence of the defense lawyer.<\/p>\n

Last December, the Special Prosecutor’s Office of Kosovo said that it has filed a total of 33 charges, involving 89 people, for war crimes in Kosovo.<\/p>\n

Since the end of the last war in Kosovo, about 70 people have been convicted of war crimes before local and international institutions.<\/p>\n

From 2000 to 2008, war crimes in Kosovo were investigated by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), while from 2008, by the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX).<\/p>\n

In 2018, this mission submitted the cases to the Kosovo Prosecutor’s Office and local courts.<\/p>\n

During the last war in Kosovo in 1998-99, over 13,000 civilians were killed and thousands more disappeared.<\/p>\n

Over 1,600 people are still missing – most of them Albanians.<\/p>\n
