The murder of the Bytyqi brothers by the Serbian police, DASH: Belgrade will

DASH spokesman Matthew Miller demands justice for the three Albanian brothers Ylli, Agron and Mehmet Bytyqi who were killed by the Serbian police 25 years ago.

Through a post on the social platform "X", Miller declared that the perpetrators of that brutal act are free. The DASH spokesman has asked the Serbian government to continue the investigation and take responsibility for the murder of the three brothers.

"25 years ago, American citizens Ylli, Agron and Mehmet Bytyqi were killed in Serbian police custody. Today, the perpetrators of this brutal act remain free. We call on Serbia once again to complete its investigation and bring those responsible for their deaths to justice," Miller writes in "X".

We recall that the brothers Agron, Mehmet and Yll Bytyqi, originally from Kosovo, were arrested in 1999 in Serbia, due to, as Serbian officials at the time said, illegal crossing of the border.

They were released from prison after being convicted and then killed. Their bodies were found in a mass grave near Petrovo Sello in eastern Serbia in 2001.

Two police officers accused of assisting in the liquidation of the Bytyqi brothers, Sreten Popovic and Milosh Stojanovic, have been declared innocent by decision of the High Court in Belgrade for war crimes.

The court has said that there is no evidence of their involvement in the murders committed in July 1999.

In October 2019, the House of Representatives of the US Congress approved a resolution that asks Serbia to solve the case of the murder of three brothers.

The document states that the development of relations between the United States and Serbia should depend on the progress made in solving this case.
