The head of the Serbian Government’s Commission for Missing Persons, Veljko Odalovic, stated today that it is a positive development that Kosovo has identified and returned the bodies of three Serbs whose disappearance was reported in 1999.
Odalovic has said that he hopes that this will intensify the process of identifying missing persons, since according to him “in the Pristina cemetery there are still more than 300 unidentified remains”
“A good moment for those three families, a good moment for the process, a good moment for restoring hope for the families and for this process to intensify. Because there are more than 300 bodies or parts of bodies in the Pristina morgue that are still unidentified,” he told Tanjug.
The remains of three bodies of Serbian citizens killed in the last war in Kosovo were handed over to the Serbian authorities on Tuesday, June 18, at the border point in Merdara.
As reported, it is about the bodies of Svetislav Xhapo, Perka Mladenovic and Momir Millenkovic.
