The Bosnian prosecution said on Monday that the incomplete remains of a war victim have been exhumed by investigators in Trnovo in the Sekovici municipality.

“The exhumation of the terrain at the Trnovo site, in the municipality of Sekovici, has been completed and the incomplete remains of one person have been found,” the prosecution said in a statement.

The prosecution said that the remains would be transported to the Tuzla Commemoration Centre, where attempts will be made to determine the victim’s identity using DNA analysis.

Bosnia’s Institute for Missing Persons also said on Friday that the incomplete remains of at least one war victim had been exhumed in Zepa in eastern Bosnia.

The Institute for Missing Persons said that the victim was believed to be a Bosniak who was killed in the Zepa area in 1995.

More than 7,000 people are still missing from the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
