The inability to resolve that issue most definitely affects the stabilisation process in the region, she said.
Bomberger said she expected that progress in shedding light on the faith of some 2,500 people still registered as missing during the Serbian-Croatian conflict would be presented at the meeting.
ICMP was established in 1996, following the G-7 Summit, in Lyon, France, to address the issue of persons who disappeared during wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and in Republic of Serbia from 1991 to 1995.
Following the conflict in Kosovo and the crisis in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, ICMP expanded its operations to address missing persons cases from these areas. ICMP is headquartered in Sarajevo but also has offices in the Republic of Croatia, Republic of Serbia, and UN-administered Kosovo
After the meeting in Belgrade, ICMP representatives will travel to Pristina to speak with representatives of the international community, local politicians and members of the families of people who are still unaccounted for.
