"I am here to bow down before the victims and I intend to pay tribute to them. I am here to once again extend my apologies, to express regret and create a possibility for Serbia and Croatia to turn a new page in the history," Tadic said.
Vukovar is the best known symbol of resistance and Ovcara is a well-known place of suffering of Croatians in the 1990s Homeland War, where members of the former Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and Serb paramilitary units on 20 November 1991, during the Serb occupation of Vukovar, killed 200 Croatian soldiers and civilians, mostly patients who had been brought there from the Vukovar Hospital.
