After more than a decade of armed conflict in the former Yugoslavia, thousands of people remain missing. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) estimates that over 20,000 persons remain unaccounted for. Families from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Kosovo and Croatia still hope for news of relatives who disappeared during the armed conflicts in the region.
Human remains found in mass graves across the region remain unidentified. The ICRC and National Red Cross Societies from around the world are working with other international organizations and governments to clarify the fate of the missing. The Ante Mortem Data (AMD) project seeks to collect information from relatives that may help to identify human remains exhumed from mass graves.
