BELGRADE, Serbia (AA) – Kosovo held a solidarity march Friday for victims of sexual harassment or rape during the independence war in 1998 and 1999.
The march was organized in the capital, Pristina, by the Presidency of Kosovo and the Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture with the support of Justice Minister Albulena Haxhiu.
Haxhiu pledged support to victims and expressed the need for joint determination to end all forms of sexual violence.
The government, at the suggestion of President Vjosa Osmani, dedicated April 14 to victims of sexual violence during the Kosovo War.
