Labour and Welfare Minister Jovan Manasievski told a press conference
in Skopje that the bodies would be taken to Mostar for identification,
but could not confirm whether they would be transferred to Macedonia
on Sunday as earlier announced by the government.
Manasievski said that a 'black box' had been found and that it would
be sent to the European Civil Aviation Administration in Paris for
investigation purposes.
Interior Minister Vlado Buckovski said that a large number of foreign
heads of state and government had expressed their desire to attend
Trajkovski's funeral in Skopje.
