We call on international factors to put pressure on official Belgrade to reveal the truth about our missing, as they bear responsibility and know the truth. There are also 11 mass graves in addition to the 5 already discovered, for which Serbia provides no information. It has been publicly stated that there are 16 mass graves in total, and only in the one uncovered in Batajnica, we have 744 exhumed missing persons.
