The Bosnian Institute for Missing Persons recovered the remains of three war victims from a mass grave near the village of Suceska, in Srebrenica municipality.
According to information from the Institute for Missing Persons, the remains are probably those of men killed in July 1995 in Srebrenica.
The remains were transported to the Commemorative Center in Tuzla for analysis and identification.
On the same day, the remains of another victim were found near Sanski Most in northwestern Bosnia.
The Bosnian state prosecution, which has national responsibility for exhumations, said that the remains would be sent to the Sejkovaca mortuary for identification.
Representatives of the Institute for Missing Persons and police officers from both Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the exhumations in Srebrenica and Sanski Most.
According to available information, at the end of the conflict in Bosnia an estimated 30,000 people were reported as missing. The remains of two thirds have been found, and around 10,000 people are still missing from the Bosnian conflict.
