Improved investigative and forensic techniques mean it is still possible to find and identify the remaining 12,000 people who disappeared during the Balkan wars – but cooperation between governments is essential so families can finally know the fate of their missing loved ones.

In the last 20 years, governments in the Western Balkans have been able to account for more than 70 per cent of the 40,000 people who were missing at the end of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. Almost 28,000 have been accounted for, which is an unprecedented achievement following a large-scale conflict anywhere in the world.
