Serbia uncovers "Kosovo mass grave"
Serbia's war crimes prosecutor said the grave thought to hold the bodies of about 250 Kosovo Albanians had been found in a pond at a quarry in the country's southwestern region of Raska, with the help of the European Union's law and order mission in Kosovo (Eulex).

"Thanks to our cooperation with EULEX, according to our information, we have a grave in the Raska area, with about 250 bodies," Deputy Prosecutor Bruno Vekaric was quoted as saying in Belgrade.
He also reminded that two years the site was searched for, but it was not found.
"Now we think we have the right location and we will do everything to have the technical realization as soon as possible, to exhume the bodies and the hand it over to the relatives with regular procedure," Vekaric said.
"Since we have really good cooperation with EULEX, we will certainly check everything that our colleagues gather according to their information," Vekaric said.
Vekaric also said that this is yet another proof that Serbia wishes to use its democratic capacities to investigate crimes regardless of who committed them.
