Kosovo is setting up an institute to document Serbia’s crimes against its population in the 1998-1999 war, the country's prime minister said Wednesday.

Albin Kurti said the institute would document the war crimes so "the Kosovar Albanians’ tragic history suffered at the hands of criminal Serbia is more widely known."

The war between Serbia and Kosovo killed more than 10,000 people, mostly Kosovo Albanians. It ended after a 78-day NATO bombing campaign that compelled Serbian forces to withdraw from Kosovo.

Kosovo declared independence in 2008 — a move Belgrade refuses to recognize.

"Wounds are still fresh," said Kurti, adding that more than 1,600 bodies are still missing. He accused Serbia of burying them in unmarked graves and refusing to share their whereabouts.

Fourteen years after the end of the war, tensions between Kosovo and Serbia remain high, raising fears among Western powers of another conflict as the war in Ukraine rages on.

Normalization talks between Kosovo and Serbia, facilitated by the European Union, have failed to make progress, particularly following a September shootout between masked Serb gunmen and Kosovo police that left four people dead and ratcheted up tensions in the region.

The EU and the United States are pressing both countries to implement agreements that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kurti reached earlier this year.

Both Serbia and Kosovo have said they want to join the 27-nation European block, but EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said their refusal to compromise is jeopardizing their chances for membership.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of how President Biden is handling the current war between Israel and Hamas, according to an Associated Press poll released Wednesday.

As the war enters its second month, a staggering 63% of Americans say Biden is not doing enough to adequately manage the conflict, bring peace or limit civilian casualties, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Aaron Philipson, a 64-year-old Republican in Florida, said he's disappointed by Biden's strategy towards the war and his cooperation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"He's not taking a proper stand," Philipson said of Biden. "He seems to be trying to dictate policy to Netanyahu, and Netanyahu doesn’t seem to be having any of it." Under Biden's leadership, he said the world "is all falling apart right now," and "this war is sort of like the icing on the cake."

STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL CALLS IT QUITS AFTER BIDEN SAYS US WILL SUPPORT ISRAEL: 'POLICY DISAGREEMENT'

The survey, which was conducted from Nov. 2 to 6, found that Americans have become more likely to describe Israel as an ally that shares U.S. interests since the war with Hamas began, but they’re divided over whether Israel has gone too far in its response to last month’s attack.

Israel’s counteroffensive comes after Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis on Oct. 7, the deadliest terror attack in the country’s history.

The survey found 40% of Americans said Israel's military response in the Gaza Strip has gone too far.

Among Democrats, 58% said they view Israel's counterattack as excessive.

Overall, however, a majority said the response was reasonable, with 38% of Americans saying Israel's response has been about right, and 18% saying it has not gone far enough.

Some claim the current conflict is too complicated to definitively take a side.

"It’s just so complicated," said Carolyn Reyes, a 36-year-old Democrat in New York. "And I will not even pretend to understand the complicated nature of the relationship between the United States and Israel."

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has said 10,000 Palestinians have died from weeks of Israeli bombardment and its ground invasion through northern Gaza. The death toll includes about 4,000 children.

Reyes described the death toll as "the line that’s too far."

"It seems so high, I thought that can’t be right," she told The Associated Press.

Despite the rising casualties, Americans largely pin blame for the current conflict on Hamas, which the U.S. State Department has designated a terrorist organization.

Nearly 2 in 3 people (66%) said Hamas has a lot of responsibility for the war with the others saying Israel bears responsibility.

The poll shows Biden’s unsatisfactory statistic is slightly worse than his overall job approval, as 60% of U.S. adults disapprove of the way Biden is handling his job as president. Only 38% approve.

Biden’s approach toward Israel could present a political challenge for him as he tries to balance support for Israel’s right to self-defense — which is widely supported — and the shifting priorities of his Democratic Party’s more progressive members, which favor Palestinian independence.

The AP poll of 1,239 adults was conducted Nov. 2-6, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, designed to represent the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
