BELGRADE, Aug 3 (Hina) - The locations of 33 new mass graves have been discovered in Kosovo and exhumations will begin next year, according to the head of the United Nations Mission to the southern Yugoslav province (UNMIK), Hans
Haekkerup. In an interview with Belgrade's Blic newspaper of Friday, Haekkerup said the UN's war crimes tribunal at The Hague now had to identity 1,256 bodies exhumed thus far, as well as bodies dug out from recently discovered graves in Serbia. Haekkerup said UNMIK's priority was tracing the missing from Kosovo, to which end an agreement was signed last week with the International Commission for Missing Persons in Sarajevo. The UN official emphasised the key to the resolution of the missing persons and other important issues was in the hands of the Kosovo people and not the UNMIK, which he said was working towards improving the quality of living in the province.(hina) ha
