City: Mostar Archives

Since the Uborak and Sutina massacres, the most serious war crimes in the Herzegovina region during the 1990s conflict, the victims’ families have been calling for a dignified memorial, but have faced indifference from ethno-nationalist political leaders.

The Uborak and Sutina massacres near Mostar were the first and the largest war crimes in the Herzegovina region during the 1990s conflict. In the first in a three-part series, eyewitnesses recall the executions that left 114 people dead.

At an exhumation in the village of Medjine in the Mostar area, investigators have discovered the remains of 15 people who are believed to have died during the war in 1994.

Parts of the skeletons of three people, believed to be Bosniak victims of the war who disappeared in 1993, have been exhumed from a burial site in the Mostar area.

The Bosnian court confirmed an indictment charging nine former soldiers and policemen with committing a crime against humanity in the village of Zijemlje near Mostar, where around 100 Bosniaks, including children, were killed in 1992.

Investigators in Nevesinje, a city in the country’s Herzegovina region, are still 20 children who disappeared during the 1992-95 war, the youngest of whom was just seven days old and had no name.

In the summer of 1992, the bodies of 114 Bosniak and Croat civilians were found in two mass graves at a municipal dump and a cemetery in the town of Mostar, but decades on, no one has prosecuted for their murders.

Wreaths were laid in memory 33 Bosnian Croat civilians, including a four-year-old girl, who were killed by Bosnian Army troops in the village of Grabovica in September 1993.

Vinko Martinovic, who has already served prison time for wartime ethnic cleansing, was arrested in Bosnia and is wanted by Croatia to serve another sentence for the post-war murder of a Bosniak woman.
