In the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, another fraternal grave was found with the remains of the victims of mass violence over Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995. The burial found near the city of Kalinovik 200 kilometers from Srebrenitsa, the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) reported.
Deutsche Welle notes that this is the most remote from the Srebrenica fraternal grave from all those discovered so far.
Experts diminished DNA samples with genetic samples provided by the relatives of the missing. As a result, experts discovered ten coincidences. These samples are now transferred to the competent institutions in Bosnia for official identification.
International courts qualified by reprisals of the Bosnian-Serbian soldiers over more than 8,000 Muslim men in Srebrenica in 1995 as genocide. Bosnian-Serbian leader Radan Karadzhich and his commander of the armed formations Ratko Mladic were convicted of life imprisonment primarily because of the Srebrenica.
The head of the ICMP branch in the Western Balkans Matthew Holidei reported that the new fraternal grave was found only a few kilometers from the village, where the soldiers of the militant formation “Scorpio” in the middle of 1995 killed six captives from Srebrenica. Videos of this execution were used by international courts as evidence.
According to the Memorial Center of the Srebrhenica Memorial Center, more than 90 fraternal graves have already been found in Bosnia with victims of the Srebrenica. According to experts, many corpses were subsequently dug and buried in other places to drop tracks. The fate of hundreds of other victims remains unknown. New burials are detected more and less. The last one was found in 2016.
