graves will soon start. #L#
The exhumation is to begin at some sites in Batajnica (outside
Belgrade), where bodies of Kosovo Albanians killed in 1999 may have
been buried.
Karleusa gave no details on how many sites would be searched.
According to the latest report of the London-based Institute for
War and Peace, cited by the Radio B92, Serbian authorities are
preparing the exhumation of bodies from four new mass graves. Three
of them are in Batajnica and the fourth is in the southern town of
Vranje. It is believed that between 400 and 500 corpses are hidden
in them.
First mass graves with corpses of ethnic Albanians were discovered
a year ago. The first was in Batajnica and the other two in the
eastern town of Petrovo Selo and in the lake of the power plant
"Perucac".
According to the police, it is still unknown who ordered the
transfer of the killed Albanians from Kosovo to Serbia.
