For over a decade this uncertainty has damaged the relations between Kosovo and Serbia and hampered the reconciliation process between these two sides of the conflict. Parents, siblings, spouses and children are constantly seeking their lost relatives. Families and communities, not knowing the fate of their loved ones, are not able to leave behind the past events that disrupted their lives. As the grief continues for years after the fighting ends, the mourning family members cannot move on to rehabilitation and reconciliation, either as individuals or as a community. By giving voice to the silent victims, forensic medicine can ensure that the missing persons are not forgotten but their stories will be heard. Only by bringing the perpetrators to justice the human rights can be protected in the future.
