Mortal remains of twelve victims of the 1992-95 war were dug out of a mass grave on Igman Mountain, southwest of Sarajevo, which marked the end of exhumation on the Lokvice-Golo Brdo site, Bosnia's State Prosecutor's Office said on Monday.
The remains are believed to be those of Bosniak victims from Donji Hadzici village who went missing in summer 1992.
The mass grave was discovered last week after a thorough search carried out within a case at Bosnia's Prosecutor's Office. The search was conducted in a joint operation of the Missing Persons Institute, and the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) is providing technical assistance at the excavation.
