War victims’ clothes and other personal possessions, stored at the Institute of Forensic Medicine since 2003, are being transferred to a better location after calls to ensure that they are preserved.

Thousands of items that were owned by Kosovo war victims whose bodies have been found in mass and individual graves since the conflict are being transferred to a more appropriate location after having been stored for years in poor conditions.

The move comes after pressure by the director of Kosovo Forensics, Arsim Gerxhaliu, and victims’ families.

Since 2003, Gerxhaliu and his colleagues at the Institute of Forensic Medicine have voluntarily taken care of the victims’ possessions by changing their packaging and putting up shelves in the tent in which they were stored.
