31/08/2021 (Agence Europe) – On Monday 30 August, the EU’s EULEX Kosovo mission announced the development of a database to facilitate investigations by itself and the Kosovo Police into war crimes and enforced disappearances. The mission said in a statement that this tool will allow investigators to organise large amounts of data, investigate complex and interconnected war crimes cases and prepare them for prosecution. According to the mission, the lack of such a database has been identified as one of the main challenges for the Kosovo Police following the completion of the process of transferring many cases from EULEX in 2018. The database already includes around 400 war crimes cases that were scanned and uploaded after EULEX handed these cases over to the Kosovo Police in 2018. (CG)
