EU mediator welcomes promise by Kosovo and Serbia to finally implement the 2023 declaration, intended to help find the remaining missing persons from the 1998-99 war, calling it "an important step towards bringing closure to families".

Kosovo has stepped up exhumations of suspected graves of people who disappeared during the 1998-99 war, amid suggestions from officials that a deal could be reached with Serbia to help find the remaining missing persons.
The Kosovo government said it needs more satellite images of a suspected mass grave site in southern Serbia to determine whether a search for buried bodies that was halted by the Belgrade authorities should continue.
