Belgrade,
30 August 2007
President of the Serbian government Committee on Missing Persons Veljko Odalovic said he is not satisfied with the level of exchange of information between former Yugoslav republics as regards to solving the problems of missing persons.
We get scarce information, Odalovic said noting that we processed 95% of the cases with full international monitoring and identified bodies on sites in Serbia, such as Batajnica, Petrovo Selo and Perucac.
Together with international monitors, the government’s commission worked for four days on locations in Raska for which it was assumed it was a mass grave but the media manipulation was adequately denied.
The International Red Cross said Wednesday nearly 18,000 people have been missing since war conflicts in the former Yugoslav federation in the 1990s.
Chief of the regional delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Belgrade Paul Henri Arny underlined as crucial issue urgent solution to the legal status of missing persons in Serbia.
Marking the International Day of the Disappeared on August 30, the International Red Cross published a book on the missing persons in Kosovo-Metohija, listing the names of 2,047 missing persons from the province.
The International Red Cross said the right to know the fate of a family member is a key goal of international humanitarian rights and it must be respected. The book will be presented in the National Art Gallery in Pristina and is also available on www.familylinks.icrc.org.
