Five graveyards have been unearthed in Kizevac

Kosovo Law Medicine Institute Director Arsim Gerjaliu has confirmed for Express that five cemeteries have so far been discovered.

Five graveyards have been discovered so far. We're finding mortore remains and we're going to work until we're allowed the atmospheric conditions”, Gerjaliu said.

Meanwhile as announced E ULEX is said to have been discovered in a large quay in Serbia by EULEX experts, the Kosovo Legal Medicine Institute and Serbia's Government Commission for Missing Persons. Also, EULEX explains that its experts have conducted excavations in Kizevac since 2015 and 2020, reportedly in the communiqué, there was progress thanks to the use of air photo images.

As the EULEX mission explains, following the request to receive photo images from the air of 1999, the International Committee of the Red Cross provided these air photo images to the Kosovo Government Commission for Missing Persons and Serbia's Government Commission for Missing Persons in late 2019. At the end of 2019 and early 2020, EULEX experts have analyzed the photos and, according to analysis, the exact location of the location has been located in February.

Later, experts from EULEX, the Kosovo Institute of Legal Medicine and Serbia's Government Commission for Missing Persons have carried out the field work in Kizevac, which led to the discovery of mortar waste.

“Work in Kizevac is away from finished. The process is very complicated and takes a lot of time. To be able to continue, there must be a court order. After that, the next step is to continue with exhumations and finding mortories. Once the mortore remains are found, autopsies must be made and bone samples taken for DNA profile tests. In cases where relatives of an undiscovered person have given blood samples and there will be reports of positive DNA compliance, the identification process is complete. Then, families are informed of identification and they are handed over to the missing person's mortor remains”, EULEX co-ordinator for exhumation Krassimir Nikolov said.

Meanwhile, the Government Commission for Undiscovered Persons on Friday has visited the mass cemetery in Kizevac, near Raska.

Mortore remains of 17 people allegedly Albanian have been found at this location.

Co-ordinator Ibrahim Makolli is leading the delegation, while with Serbia's delegation chairman, Veljko Odalovic, has also held a media conference.

In Kosovo, even 21 years after the war ended, nothing is known about the fate of over 1,000 and 600 people.
