U.S. Embassy Statement on Acquittal in Bytyqi Brothers Case

The U.S. Embassy remains concerned that to date no one has been convicted for the 1999 killings of U.S. citizens Agron, Ylli, and Mehmet Bytyqi. We understand that the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor plans to appeal the acquittals that were announced on September 22. We hope that prosecutors will aggressively pursue any leads on this case.

We expect Serbian authorities to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of Agron, Ylli, and Mehmet Bytyqi.


Izjava ambasade SAD o oslobađajućoj presudi u slučaju braće Bitići

Ambasada Sjedinjenih država izražava zabrinutost što do danas niko nije osuđen za ubistvo američkih državljana Agrona, Ilija i Mehmeta Bitićija 1999. godine. Upoznati smo da Tužilac za ratne zločine namerava da podnese žalbu na oslobađajuću presudu donetu 22. septembra. Nadamo se da će Tužilaštvo energično ispitati sve elemente ovog slučaja.

Očekujemo da će srpske vlasti privesti pravdi odgovorne za smrt Agrona, Ilija i Mehmeta Bitićija.
