Race: Skenderaj Gjakova suspected of mortore remains

He has announced that in some locations that were dug earlier, excavations will resume, as well as excavations in two other locations in the Gjakova municipality as well as in the Scikyright municipality.

The “actually within the territory of the Republic of Kosovo are somewhere at least seven locations in which we have been focused or are engaged in understanding assessment excavations this year. This once again confirms that the Government Commission of the Republic of Kosovo in full co-ordination, even with partners or institutions that are part of this process, are actually making constant efforts to address the issue of missing persons, however, with a particular priority. Not all of these locations have resulted from finding or positive, in terms of finding mortorous waste or confirming data that we have addressed, but that doesn't even mean a circumstance that we don't continue to dynamicly with the same commitment”, he said.

The race stressed that in the locations that have been unearthed earlier, in the Kamenica region location in the Mat district and a location in the Podujevo region, excavations will be held again during those days.

From the seven locations I posted, from the Peja region, it should be noted that before this location we were engaged in the Kamenica region, then we had three locations in the Pristina region, that's in the city's cemetery and Arberi, and that's in the tomb of Matt. But even on two occasions on the outskirts of Pristina in the Germic space. We also had excavations that should be highlighted as fact at the site of Vidormeric of the municipality of Mitrovica, in the northern part of Kosovo, and a location in the village of Kishnica, respectively. In most of these cases, including the location in the Kamenica region and the location of the Mat, but also a location we've had in the Podujevo region, in these locations, I believe we will soon be able to return, in full co-ordination, even with the commitment of investigators or the complete epic from the police department for war crimes investigations, however, with the commitment of fellow government Commission officials and officials, I believe, we are in the treatment or detailed review of the complete information on the basis of which we hope to achieve the exact location of the need or mark the locations that will be with the interest of the investigation that would mean the x1st location.

The race said it is scheduled to begin excavations even at two new locations, in Gjakova, in the village of Biszhazy, as well as at a location in the Skyeraj municipality.

He said the location in the Gjakova municipality was buried there by victims of some disguises in the Gjakova municipality, according to him, at the end of the war at the end of that location in the Serbian forces had exhumed the victims' bodies again by sending in the unknown direction, where part of those victims were later discovered in a mass cemetery on Serbia's territory.

According to him, after the war international experts from bone waste found in the Bishazini location have been able to identify 16 victims, and it is important that the dig is done again in that location.

“We believe that now at the end of the summer, as was planned even before, we will be engaged in a location in the Gjakova region, in the village of Biszhazy, respectively, and also at a location I believe in the municipality of Scytheright. In the case of Bischain, we are talking about a location that has been used as space, as mass cemetery illegal by Serb forces to bury, bury victims of several massacres in the Gjakova municipality. At the end of the war, Serbian forces have returned to this location and have exhumed the remains of victims who have been buried in this location by their own side to send them to the unknown direction until the first mass cemetery was launched on Serbia's territory. At one of the first mass cemetery in Serbia's territory in the Bajnabashta area, where it has confirmed that the remains of victims from this location have been sent to the Serbian forces' attempts to hide the crime traces have been sent to this area. Unable to remove all the corpses because exhumation and withdrawal have occurred with heavy motor vehicles, some of the bone parts have remained on the surface, in this space and then, in case it has been handled by international experts in the early years of the war, even by UNMIK. It has been reached by the remaining bone parts on the surface that have been identified as up to 16 victims, then bone parts of these victims are then connected with the case of victims who are exhumed in the lake in the Bajnabza area, and that is certainly important as a fact that we return to this” location, he said.

The race said that at Skyerw's location, where it is expected to be dug, following the March 30th 1999 massacre of the village of Pollac, the victims of this massacre have been buried in a specific location in an attempt to hide evidence of crime.

According to him, after the war the international teams engaged in this area have grown to exhumate some of the mortar remains of the 27 victims, but not all victims that have been buried by Serb forces.

The next “Locaque that is also of interest and I believe that the next day will be treated is the location in the Scikywright municipality, following the March 30th 99 massacre in the village of Pollac, victims of this massacre have been buried, by Serb forces at a certain location in an attempt to hide the crime tracks. The first days after the war, the international teams engaged in this area have grown to exhumation some major remains of the 27 victims so not all victims that have been buried by Serbian forces according to the data we possess”, he said. / EO/
