The remains of Macedonian late President Boris Trajkovski, who was killed in an air crash last week, will be transferred from Sarajevo to Skopje on Wednesday, local media reported.

Trajkovski, 47, had been Macedonia's president since 1999. His plane, with eight other people on board, crashed in thick fog in southern Bosnia en route to an investment conference in the western Bosnian city of Mostar on Feb. 26.

His body, found near the village of Hruskovic in Stolac, Bosnia,was identified on Monday by DNA comparisons with blood provided byhis father and twin brothers.

Macedonia had proclaimed a three-day mourning last week. Trajkovski's coffin will be buried on Friday with full state honors.
