Tanjug reported it learned this at the UN headquarters in New York.
Ban stated in his regular quarterly report for the period between April 23 and July 15 that the authorities in Belgrade and Pristina should work to find the truth about missing persons and war crimes.

Ban commended the efforts to bring the relations between Belgrade and Priština back to normal and added that the painful issues left after the war needed solutions, according to the report, which Tanjug had access to.

There are still 1,726 missing persons, Ban stated in the report, adding that international support to all sides and involvement in Kosovo were still crucial.

Besides operational support in the implementation of agreements, it is very important for the international community to remain determined in the process of reconciliation and healing of the wounds from the past, the secretary general said.

"The greatest challenge in Kosovo at the moment is the implementation of the agreement signed in Brussels by Serbia's Prime Minister Ivica Dačić and his Kosovo counterpart Hashim Thaci," Ban noted, calling on all international organizations in Kosovo to work with the UN.
