A mass grave with the victims from Bosnian eastern towns of Visegrad and Srebrenica has been discovered recently, Missing Persons Institute Director Amor Masovic said in N1's programme on Thursday.

The mass grave's location was unveiled by a witness, according to Masovic.

“Gradina is the micro-location, Visegrad Municipality. A mass grave with the Srebrenica genocide victims was earlier discovered on the same location. We were assisted by a witness who told us that the victims from Visegrad as well as the Srebrenica genocide victims were buried there,” he added.

The area around the mass grave is mined which makes the terrain inaccessible.

“That's a very demanding terrain. The victims were killed and the area was then mined in a way that huge stones covered the victims’ bodies. It is necessary to break those stones. We can't speak about the number of victims because the witness didn't want to speak about it either,” said Masovic.

33 victims of the 1995 Srebrenica mass killing, which two international courts ruled was an act of genocide, were buried on Thursday at the Potocari Memorial Centre.

Bosnian Serb forces overran the UN-protected eastern Bosnian enclave on July 11, 1995, separated men from women and little children and executed some 8,000 men and boys over three days.

The bodies of the victims were buried in a large number of mass graves in the area.

The remains of 140 victims are stored in the DNA identification centre in Tuzla. Some of them have been identified, but their families do not want to bury them until more of their remains are found.

More than 1,000 Srebrenica genocide victims are still missing.

Among the 6,610 victims buried at the Potocari Memorial Centre, 26 are women. The oldest of all victims is 94-year-old Saha Izmirlic. The youngest is Fata Muhic, not even a day old.

The first such mass funeral took place in 2003, when about 1,000 victims were laid to rest.
