This is the second mass grave uncovered this month in Kosovo-Metohija. UN spokesperson Marcia Poole said that they are presumed to be Kosovo Serbs missing since 1998.
Poole said that the grave is situated near the hospital in Malisevo, a Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) stronghold.
President of the Serbia-Montenegrin Council of Ministers Commission for Missing Persons Gvozden Gagic told the Tanjug news agency that so far five bodies have been found in the grave on the outskirts of Malisevo in Kosovo-Metohija and are believed to be Kosovo Serbs who disappeared from the region in 1998.
“UNMIK began the exhumation of that mass grave on May 13. We still do not know their identity, but we presume that it is a group of Kosovo Serbs who disappeared in 1998 in the Malisevo region”, Gagic said and added that the search and exhumation will last about a week.
According to him, after that autopsies will be performed and bone samples taken, followed by identification of the remains.
Exhumation of the first mass grave, discovered last month in a cave near the Volujak village, Klina municipality, is complete. The remains of the 22 persons found were thought to be victims of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) actions during 1998.
