Body parts, personal belongings, and aircraft debris have been collected by local authorities since May 1st, after the Dutch expert teams withdrew.
A team of eight experts remains at the scene to collect body parts, belongings, and debris to transport back to the Netherlands.
To date, the bodies of 298 passengers and crew members, mostly Dutch, on the Malaysia Airlines flight have been transported back to the Netherlands by military aircraft. A memorial service for the victims will be held at Amsterdam-Schipol Airport.
Fragments of the engine will be handed over to the Dutch Public Prosecutor's Office and the Dutch Office for Security (OVV), which are responsible for investigating the disaster.
The OVV's investigation report on the cause of the accident, which does not address assigning responsibility, will be released on October 13th.
According to a preliminary report, MH17 was shot down by "a large number of projectiles," leading to strong suspicions that the plane was hit by a surface-to-air missile.
The criminal investigation, conducted in coordination with the Public Prosecutor's Office, was carried out by experts from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine, Australia, and Malaysia. In early August, the experts announced they had identified certain elements related to the BUK missile.
