The Special Prosecutor's Office said that it has filed an indictment against a person suspected of war crimes against the civilian population in Kosovo. The suspect, according to the prosecution, is ST, of Serbian nationality. He is accused of crimes committed in 1998-99 in the village of Reznik in Vushtrri and in the surrounding villages of this municipality.

According to the announcement, the defendant was a member of the Serbian police and military forces and "contributed to murder, raids, beatings, mistreatment, arrest, torture, treatment in a cruel and inhumane manner, keeping in slavery conditions, deportation of thousands of Albanian civilians as well as the measures of looting, burning and destroying the houses of the civilian population of Albanian nationality".

On December 15, 2022, the authorities announced that ST, suspected of war crimes, had been arrested in Vushtrri. At that time, the head of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian Government, Petar Petkovic, had stated that the arrested person was the former member of the Kosovo Police, Slagjan Trajkovic.

Since the end of the war in Kosovo, about 70 people have been convicted of war crimes by local and international justice institutions, REL reports.

From 2000 to 2008, war crimes were investigated by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). From 2008, the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) was responsible for investigating these crimes.

Meanwhile, since 2018, EULEX has submitted documents on war crimes to the judicial institutions of Kosovo. During the war in Kosovo, in the period from 1998 to 1999, more than 13,500 people were killed. Likewise, over 1,600 people are still considered missing, mainly from the Albanian community.
