MIP holds lecture on crimes committed in Kosovo
On 6 August 2025, the Mechanism Information Programme for Affected Communities (MIP) held an online lecture on judicially-established facts relating to crimes committed in Kosovo during 1998 and 1999. The lecture was part of the Summer School for Transitional Justice, organized by the Humanitarian Law Centre Kosovo and held in Prizren. Participants included students of law, sociology and journalism, civil society activists, and young professionals of different ethnicities from several municipalities across Kosovo.
During the lecture, MIP researcher Mr. Nemanja Stjepanović provided an overview of the cases heard before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concerning crimes committed in Kosovo, including those perpetrated by the Yugoslav Army and the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Mr. Stjepanović emphasized the vital role of the Mechanism’s multimedia resources in supporting education and remembrance initiatives across the region, based on the Mechanism’s archival material. He showcased a range of materials produced by the MIP, including audio recordings, video content, and other visual media that bring to life the stories of victims and witnesses, and help explain the judicial proceedings. These materials serve as powerful tools in countering denial and fostering a deeper public understanding of the crimes adjudicated by the ICTY.
This lecture forms part of the MIP’s efforts to support projects and events organized by civil society organizations from the former Yugoslavia engaged in the field of transitional justice.
The aim of the MIP is to improve the knowledge and understanding of citizens and communities in the countries of the former Yugoslavia about the crimes committed during the conflicts of the 1990s, based on ICTY and Mechanism cases. The MIP is funded by the European Union.
