Families of children killed during the Kosovo war who provided pictures and personal belongings for a successful exhibition in Pristina are now asking for a permanent memorial museum to be set up.
Dea Dedi, manager of the Documentation Centre at the Humanitarian Law Centre Kosovo, which staged the exhibition in Pristina, told BIRN that the relatives of the children whose pictures and belongings are on display are calling for a permanent location to be found to exhibit the items.
The exhibition at the Hivzi Sylejmani Library in central Pristina, entitled ‘Once Upon a Time and Never Again’, includes photographs and personal items like clothes and toys commemorating more than 600 children who were killed during the 1998-99 war.
“We are facing huge demands for the exhibition to stay open permanently,” said Dedi.
Since its opening in 2019, thousands of people have visited the exhibition which was organised in memory of the 1,024 children who were killed and 109 who went missing amid the conflict.
