RECOM je prva međuvladina inicijativa te vrste i trebala bi dovesti do približne istine o tome šta se desilo u ovom regionu nakon raspada Jugoslavije, od 1991. pa do zadnjeg sukoba u Makedoniji 2001. godine.
RECOM is the first intergovernmental initiative of its kind, and should lead to an approximation of truth about what happened in this region after the breakup of Yugoslavia, from 1991 till the last conflict in Macedonia in 2001.
