Belgrade's B-92 radio, citing a U.N. official in Kosovo, said the site had been discovered near the southern town of Suva Reka. It also said those buried there were suspected to have been killed after Kosovo came under international rule in 1999. Guido Van Rillaer, the head of the missing persons unit at Kosovo's U.N. police force, said around 230 people were buried at Suva Reka -- but in a cemetery for unidentified bodies exhumed from mass grave sites by war crimes investigators. ``It´s a cemetery, very clear and simple,´´ he said. ``It´s a storage place...a cemetery kept for unidentified bodies.´´ The B-92 report said officials would probably not start exhuming the alleged mass grave site until next year. A U.N. spokeswoman suggested the report may be politically motivated, in line with a message spread by some Serbian media that the U.N. is doing nothing to trace missing Kosovo Serbs. ``The Serb press says we´re doing nothing on the missing,´´ said Susan Manuel, a spokeswoman for the U.N. mission in Kosovo. ``It´s definitely a distortion.´´ Bodies in the Suva Reka cemetery managed by the United Nations are only some of the 1,256 that were exhumed by the war crimes tribunal in 1999 and 2000 and remain unidentified, Manuel said. Investigators exhumed some 4,000 bodies in those two years in an effort to gather evidence against former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, who was transferred to the U.N. war crimes tribunal at The Hague last month, and other war crimes suspects. The vast majority of those identified from mass graves in Kosovo are ethnic Albanians believed to have been killed by Serb forces before or during NATO's 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia. Bodies of many more victims may never be found due to attempts to conceal or destroy them, investigators say. But Serbs say 1,300 members of their community have gone missing since the end of the air war in June 1999, when the province was transferred from Serbian to international rule, and have demanded the U.N. and NATO do more to help find them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
