FEATURE : Thousands of missing still haunt Balkans

AFP , BELGRADE

Out of 140,000 victims in the 1990s Balkan wars, some 35,000 went missing, according to the ICRC. While the states of the former Yugoslavia are doing a relatively good job with 58 percent of these war missing cases solved, it’s still not enough, Arni says.

At this rate it will take another 24 years in Croatia and 50 years in Kosovo to solve the still open cases, while for Bosnia it will likely take another 10 years, Arni adds.
