Bodies of missing in Kosovo and Metohija not found at Stavalj location
Sjenica,
25 May 2022
In a statement to the press at that location, Odalovic said that 13 days were spent to search over 7,000 cubic meters of loose material and it can definitely be said that no remains were found at this location.
He also expressed the expectation that the Pristina side would act identically.
We have our requirements that have been in the spotlight for years. They were handed over to Pristina, and so far we have not received information on whether or when they will be checked, he pointed out.
He stated that the mechanism of the joint working group has so far resolved about 1,825 cases, of which 1,527 are the bodies of missing Kosovo Albanians, while the remaining 298 are the bodies of missing Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.
The 1,620 people we are looking for are an equal priority for us. We demand that everyone be treated the same, he said.
Odalovic called on all those who were in the southern province during the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija to open archives, including NATO, KFOR and the OSCE.
