Kosovo: identification of mass grave bodies is complicated


Alan Robinson and Arsim Gërxhaliu explained that the bodies that have not been identified at the Department of Forensic Medicine are the result of incorrectly burial by the family. 2 thousand burials were made without any analysis or dissection. Identification of bones of victims of war is complicated because many dead bodies are buried without DNA analysis.

Considering the very sensitive issue, competent people who deal with this work have accepted to give interview for newspaper but only jointly. They are Alan Robinson, co-director of EULEX in the Department of Forensic Medicine and director of the Department of Forensic Medicine, Arsim Gërxhaliu.

Both have explained that in the Department of Forensic Medicine are still 250 unidentified bodies and 101 parts of skeletons which were exhumed from mass graves in Kosovo and Serbia. Robinson and Gërxhaliu stated that their identification is a very difficult process. For these they think that after the war many burials were made incorrectly. They have also shown that this year will be looking to work in mass graves in Kosovo and Serbia. So far there haven registered 1754 missing persons
