I’m confused as to what they mean by “not being able to identify the pilot”, surely that’s the guy whose identity is the easiest to figure out as you can’t just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right? Or do they mean that they can’t verify that the pilot who took off is the same as the one they found in the wreck?

Under European rules, if you are flying domestically under VFR, you don’t necessarily need to even file a flight plan. Even if they did, nobody checks who flies the plane if it’s not an international big airport. I mean I sure would file either way, especially since that area is dangerous and I want authorities to know where I am if I disappear in the mountains.
For a small grass strip in the middle of Slovenia, you might not even need a radio, but local regulations might beg to differ.
It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.

I’m assuming that the rescue team couldn’t identify the person due to damages to the body.
Meaning the identity had to be confirmed later by someone else (a coroner, probably)
