Description
The State Commission on Missing Persons (Bosniak) conducted investigations at 11 locations in the Baljkovica region west of Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on 29 September 1998. The skeletonized remains of 13 individuals were recovered from surface deposits. The remains were incomplete in many cases, and evidence of animal activity was seen on a few bones. Various articles of clothing were found in association with the bodies. According to witnesses, the decedents were Bosniaks who fled from Srebrenica in July 1995 and were killed by Bosnian Serb Army forces as they crossed the mountainous area west of Zvornik and east of Tuzla. Their bodies were left where they fell. The remains were transported to the Tuzla Clinical Hospital for postmortem examination and identification. At the time of this report, the postmortem examinations had been concluded, but the results had not been released. Identifications of the decedents had not yet been concluded.
