He also called for the forming of an independent commission in connection to the case.
"It is very important to finally put an end to crimes that have been a public secret in Kosovo for the past 11 years," Bogdanovic said.
"We spoke about it, but the silence of the international community in that period of time, and a lack of activity by those who were tasked with uncovering crimes meant that nothing was being done on that issue," the minister stated.
Bodganovic appraised that "it is good these events have seen the light of day after 11 years in Dick Marty's report".
He also noted that the EU mission in Kosovo, EULEX, "thus far failed to fulfill all its tasks", but added it was positive that there were announcements the mission would be "reinforced with specialized witness protection teams so that the investigation and uncovering of crimes could be done as soon as possible and in the best possible manner".
