The remains of a victim, presumed to have been an elderly Croat woman accommodated in a nursing home in Visegrad, were unearthed in the local cemetery Crnca within the efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina prosecutors to find out what happened with the victims who went missing in the 1992-1995 war.
The Institute for Missing Persons (INO) and police agencies have been collecting data about missing persons for years.
DNA analyses will establish the circumstances of the death and the final identity of the victim, officials of INO told Hina on Friday.
According to the 1991 population census, there were over 21,000 inhabitants in this municipality in east Bosnia, and a majority of them (13,000) were Bosniaks. There were 32 Croats.
Visegrad was one of the first cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be exposed to strong attacks by Serb paramilitary forces, supported by the then Yugoslav People's Army (JNA)
In 2013, about 10,000 people lived in that city in the valley of the Drina River, and 9,000 were Serbs, the Bosniank community was estimated at a mere 900, and there were 33 Croats.
According to the INO data, 7,600 victims are still unaccounted for since the war.
