Around 2,000 people from all Kosovo's communities are still listed as missing. The main mystery around this issue is the mortal remains of some 400 people assembled in white body-bags settled in eight huge fridge containers in the office's compound on Pristina's east outskirts. The remains are waiting to be identified since the war. ‘All of them passed away from violent death,’ said head of the OMPF Safet Gerxhaliu, pointing at a scull of a middle-aged man with a bullet hole on the temple and the huge hole size of an apple at the back where the bullet got out. Especially mysterious is the case coded as SCE01/001BP, which consist of a small, burned almost to ashes and unrecognisable pit shaped piece of bone, which was unearthed together with a modern but still muddy leather purse with corroded stitches. — AFP Photos/Armend Nimani
