Excavations conducted on Wednesday at the Dragodan Cemetery in Prishtina have unearthed potential human remains believed to date back to the last war in Kosovo. The discovery was confirmed to Telegrafi news outlet by Andin Hoti, the head of the Governmental Commission for Missing Persons.
“Yes, there are findings, they could be from the war, but this will be determined by DNA,” Hoti stated briefly, indicating the preliminary nature of the identification.
Authorities are now awaiting the results of DNA analysis to definitively confirm the identity and origin of the bodily remains. The excavation was initiated based on suspicions of a potential wartime burial site within the cemetery grounds.
The discovery marks a potentially significant development in the ongoing efforts to locate and identify individuals who went missing during the Kosovo War. The Governmental Commission for Missing Persons has been working for years to bring closure to the families of those unaccounted for.
The confirmation of wartime remains would be a somber reminder of the conflict’s lasting impact on the region and the continued need for thorough investigations into such cases. The results of the DNA analysis are eagerly awaited by authorities and families of the missing.
