Two weeks after the plane crash in Russia that killed Polish president Lech Kaczynski, all 96 victims have been identified, reports quoting a senior Russian official said Saturday.
"In the last two weeks a great deal has been accomplished," Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said, according to the Interfax news agency.
He also reiterated that everything was being done to determine the cause of the crash in Smolensk, western Russia, DPA reported.

Experts have ruled out mechanical fault as a cause of the crash.
