Over 8000 people still missing in Bosnia


Over 8,400 people are still missing after the Bosnian war between 1992 and 1995, Marko Jurisic of the Institute for Missing People in Bosnia and Herzegovina told the media in Sarajevo on Thursday.

Speaking after December 10 International Day of Human Rights, he expressed dissatisfaction with the attitude of local governments toward the issue of missing persons.

“One of the key issues in the process of the search for missing people is the lack of relevant information about mass graves,” Jurisic said, adding that the institute exhumed 506 body remains and identified 480 people during 2013.

Currently, exhumation is ongoing at one of the biggest mass graves in the country, Tomasica in northern Bosnia where 430 body remains were found since September.

According to existing data, more than 100,000 people were killed during the war.
