Summary/Abstract: This is the first volume of Re Kosovo Memory Book, 1998. It lists the name and surname of each person killed during the Kosovo conflict because of his or her nationality: the men, women, and children, the sick, the old, and the helpless. It is to their memory that the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) and the Humanitarian Law Center Kosovo (HLC Kosovo) dedicate this book. Re Kosovo Memory Book, 1998 is the monument on which we have inscribed the names of all those who, during the war, lost their lives or disappeared by force1 in the period between 1 January and 31 December 1998. By the end of 2012, we will have published five more volumes of the Kosovo Memory Book. They will commemorate all those who lost their lives or disappeared during the armed conflict of January to June 1999, and in the period between the end of June 1999 and the end of December 2000. The analysis of the existing documents has made clear that, prior to 2001, the number of murders and forced disappearances of Serbs, Roma, and Albanians in connection with the armed conflict was significantly higher than in the period after 2000. This is why 31 December 2000 has been made a cut­off date in the book. We should not, however, forget the murders of Serbs and Albanians during the ethnic violence of March 2004.
