Excavations in the village of Kalludër e Vogël in Zubin Potok have entered their fourth day, while teams have discovered additional human remains during searches for a suspected mass grave from the last war in Kosovo. According to KosovaPress sources, the discovery was made during Thursday’s work, while determining their identity will only be possible after forensic examinations and DNA analyses.

The initial suspicions are linked to the group known as the “intellectuals from Mitrovica,” who have been missing since April 19, 1999. However, confirmation of whether the remains belong to them will only be made after the exhumation and forensic procedures have been completed.

Yesterday, the site where the searches are being conducted was also visited by Blerim Isufaj, the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, as well as representatives of the country’s institutions.

Isufaj said that the remains discovered so far had been confirmed to be of human origin. He explained that the possible identification of the individuals would be carried out through DNA analyses.

The Chief Prosecutor stressed that the process requires time, care and adherence to professional forensic standards. According to him, institutions should avoid rushed statements, as the publication of unconfirmed data could affect the investigation.

The searches began on Tuesday and are being carried out by teams from the Institute of Forensic Medicine, the Kosovo Police and other competent institutions, under the direction and supervision of the Special Prosecution Office. The work is expected to continue over the coming days, until all necessary procedures have been completed.
