The head of Tuzla Forensic Institute, Dr Zdenko Cihlarz, said
he did not know when the identification would be finished nor
whether its results would be complete, since the Institute neither
had the necessary equipment for the DNA analysis nor a DNA
laboratory.
The DNA method consists of the analysis of deoxyribonucleic
system in cells, on the basis of which each body can be identified.
'If we continue working with the help of classical methods
only, we will not be able to complete the task as we are expected
to', Cihlarz said.
