Autopsy of human remains

On 25/03/2004 in the OMPF autopsy center in Orahovac the following autopsies were performed:

1. Peric Slobodan of Gnjilane (identification is 100% possible)
2. Vesic Nenad of Lipljan (identification is 100% possible)
3. Trajkovic Zlatibor of Kosovo Polje (body is largely burned but identification is possible; elements to be presented by Prof. Dr. Slavisa Dobricanin to the family)
4. Nedeljkovic Dragan of Prizren (it is not possible to determine identity with certainty on the basis of autopsy because the body was completely charcoalized; however, other circumstances suggest that this is the person in question).

Several conversations with the families of these bodies have taken place and it was agreed that transfer of bodies would take place in one day.

As well, steps have been taken to exhume the human remains of Stolic Dobrivoje and Borko from the local cemetery in the village of Drajkovce (they were buried there because UNMIK could not provide safe transport to Merdare so they could be buried in Mladenovac), perform autopsies and transport them as far as Merdare.

During the course of next week autopsies will be performed on Stolic Dobrivoje and Borko, and agreements made regarding the human remains of the following:

1. Peric Slobodan – to be buried in Leskovac
2. Vesic Nenad – to be buried in Belgrade
3. Trajkovic Zlatibor – to be buried in Nis if family agrees to classic identification
4. Stolic Dobrivoje – to be buried in Mladenovac
5. Stolic Borko – to be buried in Mladenovac

The body of Nedeljkovic Dragan after speaking with the family will be buried at the Orthodox cemetery in Prizren.

Since the family of Trajkovic Zlatibor had expressed doubt in his identity, Prof. Dr. Slavisa Dobricanin has taken it upon himself to provide the family with photographs of the body in order to enable them to confirm his identity.

Verification has been carried out on information regarding missing persons listed as such by the media:

1. Slobodan Tanic from Svinjare – Information confirmed and conversation took place Slobodan Tanic from Svinjare, who confirmed that there is another person bearing the same given and family name, who is also alive and well. (Slobodan Tanic – 063/849-42-73 and 028/422-140).

2. Mirko Lopata from Kosovo Polje – Information confirmed through Sladjana Dinic (063/865-27-38) who confirmed that a person bearing this given and family name has never been registered as a resident in Kosovo Polje or surrounding settlements.

Information that the charcoalized body of a female person was found in the Prizren Seminary was checked during the first days of the incident and UNMIK police, specifically, the Missing persons unit responded that the information is inaccurate and that the charcoalized remains of only one body, that of Nedeljkovic Dragan, were found in the Seminary.

Upon our insistence, UNMIK police will again check on the information and advise us of the results.
