Kosovo Police, the Government Commission on Missing Persons and the Institute of Forensic Medicine will visit the site of a mass grave in Kalludër, Zubin Potok, on Friday, as the country continues efforts to establish the fate of people who have remained missing for more than two decades.

The visit is being organized ahead of August 30, the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, as a tribute to victims of enforced disappearances and as a reaffirmation of support for their families.

Representatives of the Kosovo Police Directorate for the Investigation of War Crimes, the Government Commission on Missing Persons and the Institute of Forensic Medicine will take part in the activity alongside associations representing families of missing persons.

According to the joint announcement, families of missing persons “have continued for more than two decades to seek the truth and the fate of their loved ones.”

The institutions said the visit reflects close inter-institutional cooperation and continued partnership with associations representing families of missing persons, whose contribution remains important to the search for missing people and efforts to establish their fate.

The Kalludër site has gained renewed attention following the recent discovery of human remains believed to be connected to the Kosovo war, underscoring that the issue of missing persons remains unresolved more than 27 years after the end of the conflict.

For families still waiting for answers, the search for graves, the identification of remains and access to credible information remain essential to establishing the truth and providing long-awaited closure.
