Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the execution-style murders of United States citizens Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi in the Republic of Serbia in July 1999.

This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress concerning the execution-style murders of United States citizens Ylli, Agron, and Mehmet Bytyqi, which occurred in Serbia in July 1999. The three brothers, born in Chicago, were arrested by Serbian police after accidentally crossing an unmarked border and were subsequently released by a judge. However, instead of being freed, they were taken by a special operations unit of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs and executed, with their bodies later found in a mass grave. Congress finds it reprehensible that no individual has ever been found guilty for these murders, despite investigations and promises from Serbian officials, including President Aleksandar Vucic. While some officials involved in the broader Kosovo conflict faced charges, those directly responsible for the Bytyqi brothers' deaths have not been prosecuted. One individual, Goran Radosavljevic, a former special operations training camp commander, is reported to reside in Serbia and has been designated by the U.S. Secretary of State as ineligible for entry into the United States due to his involvement in gross human rights violations. The resolution urges the Government of Serbia and its relevant ministries, including the War Crimes Prosecutor's Office, to make it a priority to investigate and prosecute current or former officials believed to be directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths. It also calls for the United States to devote sufficient resources to assist and monitor Serbia's efforts. Finally, Congress declares that progress, or the lack thereof, in resolving this case should remain a significant factor in determining the future development of relations between the United States and the Republic of Serbia.
