The Government Commission for Missing Persons has announced the finding of mortore remains at a suspected location in the village of Brod of the Shtrpce municipality.
The find was made on Thursday, November 12, 2026, during the continuation of the research and excavations at this location.
Research in this area was launched on November 6, 2026, after securing the appropriate judicial order. During the first activity, however, the suspected grave had not been located because of changes in the terrain over the years and had made it difficult to locate the correct location.
According to the announcement, the found morto remains will undergo further forensic and identification procedures through DNA analysis.
The activities have been carried out in co-ordination between the Government Commission for Missing Persons, the Institute for Legal Medicine and the Police Directorate for Investigation of War Crimes Unit for Investigation of Missing Persons, with the support of the War Crimes Department.
According to the Commission, research has been developed based on information provided for this location.
Addressing this location is also the result of regional co-operation and joint efforts to address cases of common interest. In this context, communications have developed with the Directorate of the Republic of Croatia for Missing Persons during the Homeland War.
Similarly, the Commission has stressed continued co-operation with families of violent missing persons, the Co-ordination Council of the Kosovo Family Associations and citizens who have provided important information on the identification and treatment of this location.
In the end, the Government Commission for Missing Persons has expressed gratitude for the contribution and cooperation of all institutions and citizens involved in the process.
This institution has reiterated the commitment to continuing efforts to illuminate fate and the whereabouts of all violent missing persons.
