The Bosnian Missing Persons Institute said on Wednesday that the incomplete remains of at least two victims of the 1990s war have been discovered during an exhumation of a suspected war grave at Kamenicko Brdo near Bratunac in the east of the country.
It said that the remains are believed to be those of victims of the massacres of some 8,000 Bosniak man and boys by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995, which international courts have classified as genocide.
“The mortal remains of victims exhumed today have been transferred to the Commemoration Centre in Tuzla for a forensic assessment and criminal-technical processing, as well as the extraction of bone marrow in order to determine the victims’ identity through a DNA analysis,” the Missing Persons Institute said in a statement.
