RUDNICA -- Following two days of excavation, there are still no traces of a mass grave said to be located near Raška.

The excavation of the suspected mass grave site located 10 kilometers from Raška, said to be containing the remains of the Kosovo Albanian victims of the 1999 war, began Tuesday and continued today.

Milan Dilparić, a judge with the Belgrade War Crimes Court, is overseeing the probe.

War Crimes Prosecution spokesman Bruno Vekarić confirmed that so far no proof was found that could corroborate allegations regarding the site.

The Rudnica-Majdan location is situated between Serbian police (MUP) and KFOR check points near the boundary with Kosovo.

Dilparić told the press Tuesday that the War Crimes Court had reasons to believe that an unidentified number of bodies had been buried at the site, but stressed that “it is not known if there was even one body there.”
