Popis: The issue of the fate of missing persons is a painful topic for many families who, even after so many years, even decades, know nothing about their loved ones, and for the state a long-standing problem that cannot be solved by objective reasons alone. As time goes on, it is certain that there is less and less hope to find out where the missing persons were buried and possibly how they died. The paper points out the genesis of this issue, which is somehow very characteristic of the Balkans and which has its roots in decades. It is known that many families did not heal their wounds and overcome the losses of their relatives even from the Second World War, and new tragedies and new wounds of the 1990s on the same issue have already arrived. It was pointed out how many missing persons and graves there are today throughout the former Yugoslavia, and especially the obstruction by the leaders of some states that have been created in the meantime, including the temporary institutions of self-government in AP Kosovo and Metohija, which prevent solve.
