PRISTINA: Kosovo authorities on Monday were investigating a potential second mass grave in the country’s north, days after excavations revealed at least seven bodies from a suspected wartime killing nearby.
The country’s acting president, Albulena Haxhiu, said that the potential mass burial site was found over the weekend and is also believed to hold victims of the 1990s Kosovo war.
“Suspicions of a second mass grave are a stark reminder of the crimes committed during the war and evidence that justice has not yet been fully served,” Haxhiu said in a Facebook post.
Police and prosecutors said in a statement that they were now seeking court permission to open the second dig site, just 10 kilometres from the current location, in the nearby village of Jabuka.
