Slovenian police have launched a public call for relatives to help identify victims whose remains are buried in concealed war graves. The June 2026 amendment to the Concealed War Graves and the Burial of Victims Act (ZPVGPŽ) allows procedures to continue for identifying victims of wartime and post-war violence, using genetic comparison with biological relatives. Relatives who believe an ancestor or relative may be among the victims are invited to assist with the identification process at listed police units. After an interview and collection of the required information, police will take a buccal swab as a reference biological sample, but only with the relative’s prior consent. The DNA profile created from the swab will be compared with DNA profiles obtained from mortal remains. All data, the reference biological sample, and the genetic profile will be used solely for victim identification. To take part, relatives do not need to know the exact burial location and do not need disappearance documents. The key is having information about the person believed to have been a victim of wartime or post-war violence, and details about the circumstances of their disappearance or death. Interviews and buccal swab collection are scheduled for 17 and 19 November 2026, from 7 am to 7 pm, at: Novo mesto Police Directorate, Ljub ljanska cesta 30, Novo mesto Nova Gorica Police Directorate, Sedejeva ulica 11, Nova Gorica Murska Sobota Police Directorate, Ulica arhitekta Novaka 5, Murska Sobota Koper Police Station, Ljub ljanska cesta 8, Koper Ljubljana Moste Police Station, Tovarniška ulica 50, Ljubljana Celje Police Station, Ljub ljanska cesta 12, Celje Slovenj Gradec Police Station, Francetova cesta 9, Slovenj Gradec Kranj Police Directorate, Bleiweisova cesta 3, Kranj Maribor Police Directorate, Maistrova ulica 2, Maribor Police say cooperation from relatives will boost efforts to establish identities, notify relatives, and ensure victims receive a dignified burial.
