The Department of Forensic Medicine (DFM) on Tuesday exhumed some remains, allegedly belonging to three brothers killed during the war in 1999 in Krusha e Vogel. The brother of the three victims, Flurim Hajdari, told the paper that in 2007 the DFM issued a certificate confirming that the remains belonged to his brothers. He said that this action was “scandalous” and he does not believe any longer that the DFM will make proper identification of his brothers. The paper writes that the DFM concluded that the three bodies were buried without proper DNA analysis, therefore the DFM took new samples from the graves to make proper identification through the DNA samples. Hajdari said that the body remains of his brothers were exhumed and later during the day some other remains were buried in the same place.

On the other hand, another resident of Krusha e Vogel Getoar Shehu, expressed his dissatisfaction with practices being implemented in the remains of the victims of war from this village. “These actions simply are not allowing us to go back to reality… it is very hard for us,” said Shehu, who has nine family members killed during the war.
