How to proceed with research? Is there any kind of monthly, weekly or daily reports that would show losses, pilots that did not returend to Italy bases?

There are the MATAF Daily Int/Opsums (intelligence and operations summaries) in file AIR 23/6511 (covering October–December 1944).
The daily summary section on "own losses" should give you the Squadron (or possibly the Wing) that was missing a Spitfire from Balkan ops that day. After that, you can go to the Wing (AIR 26/ series) or Squadron (AIR 27/) Operations Record Books for the details.
However only the AIR 27/ series are available to download, the other files are on paper only.
