KIM radio and portal KoSSev reported that in the village of Suvi Do/Suhodoll in North Mitrovica started yesterday the search of the remains of missing persons during the Kosovo conflict.

The media reported that so far excavations have been carried out three times in that location and that the remains of 105 bodies have been found, which have been identified and handed over to their relatives.

Organisations that monitor war crimes cases and the families of missing persons in Kosovo said they were surprised by a recent statement by Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri. The latter told members of a parliamentary committee on Monday that the issue of missing persons is not being discussed in Brussels because the European Union has asked for the lists of missing persons and that neither Pristina nor Belgrade provided such lists.
