[Albin Kurti @albinkurti]

Sir Noel Malcolm was at Harvard University when he was receiving constant calls from international media. At the outset of the war in Kosova in 1998, he published the most important international historical account of the country. By the time he was receiving those calls, the war was already well underway, ending in June of 1999 following the NATO intervention. His work was timely, as propaganda was being used to justify genocide, and it documented the systemic discrimination of Albanians. He set the record straight at a moment when distorted history was being weaponized, so that the truth of the past could shape a more just future.

I had the honor of having a number of discussions with Sir Malcolm last night in London, who is currently at Oxford University, and of expressing my gratitude for what remains the most definitive English-language scholarly account on Kosova.

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

The people of the region cannot endure another cycle of destruction.

And yet, we now risk descending into a rathole of retaliation after retaliation.

To avoid it, diplomacy must prevail.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the memory of the millions of victims lost during one of history’s darkest chapters.

[German Embassy Pristina @GermanAmbKOS]

What happened in Recak is a fact!
And the crimes that happened are well reported, i.e. by UN + OSCE bodies.

Denying these crimes disrespects the memory of the dead, keeps wounds open and hinders progress towards regional reconciliation and European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the Reçak/Račak massacre.
We honour the victims and acknowledge the profound loss endured by their families.
This anniversary reminds us of our collective responsibility to confront the past in pursuit of a better future.
