Rajonipress has contacted the chief prosecutor Mr. Jetish Maloku. He is on vacation and he cannot be pronounced now. However according to reliable sources within the Basic Prosecution in Gjilan, under anonymity conditions, they showed that evidence collection for these files has begun and the central institutions in Prishtina are informed too.

For a long time now the Prosecutor Office has made all the preparations to accept any war files and to begin with handling of these files‚ especially the living witnesses and eyewitnesses of the macabre events and massacres of the civilian population of this area.
