Ramush Haradinaj presented Natasa Kandic on Monday with a ‘Golden Map of Kosovo’ award in honour of her contribution to determining the number of people killed during the 1990s Kosovo war.

“Natasa Kandic with the Humanitarian Law Centre has published the most accurate data so far on the murdered [victims] of the war in Kosovo,” Haradinaj wrote on Facebook.

Pleasure to welcome renowned human rights activist @natasakandic, whom I thanked for the enormous work she had done to shed light to thousands of those killed and missing from the war.

Haradinaj also pledged support for the establishment of the RECOM regional fact-finding commission on the 1990s wars. Former Yugoslav states could sign a declaration committing their support to the initiative in July.

The declaration’s aim is to prevent the possibility of “forging history”, a press release from the Hardinaj’s office said.

In February, two US Congressmen also nominated Kandic and Serbia’s Humanitarian Law Centre for the Nobel peace prize.

According to the two Congressmen, the “thorough documentation of these crimes by the HLC became essential for the provision of justice, both at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and in the war crimes chambers in regional countries”.
