Bomberger, who was attending the first meeting of the working bodies of the newly-established Institute for Missing Persons in Sarajevo, said that the main task of the Institute was to shed light on the fate of all missing persons and find their remains.
Along with the ICMP, special commissions from Bosnia's two entities have been involved in the search for missing persons, but their activities were not coordinated.
The establishment of the Institute for Missing Persons is an attempt to integrate funds and efforts on the state level in order to solve the issue of missing persons as soon as possible.
The establishment of the Institute was financed by the international community, one of the major donors being Great Britain, which gave one million euros for that purpose in 2006.
British Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Matthew Rycroft said his country would set aside the same amount this year.
The Institute for Missing Persons is expected to expedite the identification of discovered remains and facilitate access to information on the place and circumstances of a victim's death.
Bosnia's Minister of Human Rights and Refugees Safet Halilovic announced the establishment of a central database with information on all missing persons.
