ute said the Serbian team were not sure if they could wait for a group of Finns who might not arrive in the regional capital Pristina until Wednesday or Thursday. The bodies, discovered in the southern village of Racak, were brought to Pristina hospital on Monday after two days of fighting over Racak between Yugoslav security forces and ethnic Albanian guerrillas, enraged by the killings. The West, whose monitors counted 45 bodies in the village on Saturday, has accused Serbian police of a massacre. Serbian authorities have said the victims were guerrillas who died in clashes after opening fire on police. Professor Sasa Dobricanin, director of Pristina`s Forensic Medical Institute, has said he suspects the bodies may have been mutilated posthumously to make it look as if they had been executed. The United Nations` chief war crimes prosecutor, Louise Arbour, who was barred from entering Yugoslavia on Monday to lead an investigation into the killings, has warned Dobricanin not to interfere with the bodies. Dobricanin told Reuters the team was still gathering, adding that it would wait for the arrival of foreign experts. A spokesman at the Finnish embassy in Belgrade said the experts were not due in the Yugoslav capital until later on Tuesday and could spend at least a day there for talks with the Justice Ministry before heading for Pristina. "The head of the Finnish expert team, Dr Helena Ranta, is coming to Belgrade this afternoon," he said by telephone. "The Finns got a request from the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe) to conduct an investigation here on the bodies from Racak, but I know the Yugoslav authorities have been receptive to the idea." The spokesman said Ranta would speak to the Justice Ministry about practical arrangements for her work, adding: "We expect the group to assemble and be there (in Pristina) by Thursday." But a source at the Pristina institute said it was highly unlikely that the post-mortems could wait that long. "The bodies will start decomposing, and then it`s difficult to work on them," said the source, who declined to be named.
