Mortore remains found again in Rahovec, allegedly belonging to the last war

Just the 27th anniversary of the launch of shelling that liberated Kosovo, successive evidence was found in Rahovec that argues NATO intervention.

The Garage from the Government Commission for Missing Persons suggested that at the location “The kitchen” found bones belonging to at least one person from Rahoveci.

We will wait until all necessary forensic examinations are completed to confirm the exact number of individuals, exhumed victims. At this location we will continue to be engaged in the next few days, since, as we've presented, it's a sacred space, which has been ongoingly addressed for 27 years. Since the early years of post-war, even in the first few months, this location has been handled by German forensic teams, later in 2002 and 2007 by international teams under the UNMIK mission and recently by us as the Government Commission, along with colleagues of the Law Medicine Institute and the Police Directorate for Investigation of War Crimes.

Based on all the data we have provided and analysed, we have concluded that in this area they continue to be, or may be, the morto remains of eight victims of war, or at least five of them still figure out on the list of missing persons”, said Gara.

The race also revealed that there are about 10 locations to be excavated in the coming weeks.

The highest priority location we're handling, as we've introduced since the end of last year, is exactly the one in Rahovec. There are at least three other locations that we have addressed under this process, which we are considering to be a continuation of the identity confirmation or treatment of possible cases of illidentification.

Along with colleagues from the Police Directorate for War Crimes Investigation, the Institute of Legal Medicine and the support of international partners, in particular the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well as based on international archives data, we have identified a range of locations between 10 or so that they will be part of the agenda in the coming weeks.

However, we are only talking about minimal data, as we continue to face a lack of reliable information”, he added.

He reiterated that unopened locations on Serbia's territory remain disturbing and challenging, as Serbian authorities do not share information about them.

Last year, 32 locations have been unearthed, while over the past 27 years around 2700 locations have been addressed in search of mortar waste.
