The mass grave at Budak was earlier detected, but the unearthing of corpses was scheduled for Monday, 11 July, on the day when the central commemorative meeting is going to be held in Srebrenica in memory of over 8,000 victims of the worst atrocity in Europe after the Second World War.
The aim is to show participants in the commemoration what happened with more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) when Serb units led by Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic took over the enclave which was by then under the protection of UN troops.
The head of the Croat-Muslim entity's commission for missing persons, Amor Masovic, has said that the Budak grave was the so-called secondary grave, which means that victims were transferred in it from previous graves where they were buried after they were executed.
He has stated that so far 366 mass graves have been located in Bosnia in which remains of about 20,000 people have been found.
To date, 2,070 victims of the Srebrenica massacre have been unearthed from mass graves. Of them, 1,441 have been buried in the Potocari memorial complex outside Srebrenica.
During today's ceremony, another 610 Bosniaks would be buried in graves inside the complex.
The commemoration, which starts at noon, will pool tens of thousands of people, and several state delegations, including Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, the President of the state union of Serbia-Montenegro, Svetozar Marovic, Albanian President Alfred Moisiu, and representatives of the international community.
The announced arrival of Serbian President Boris Tadic has attracted most of attention. He is expected to apologise for victims on behalf of the Serb people.
"I am not going in Srebrenica so that somebody can say that Boris Tadic has done a right thing but that they can say that Serbia has done a right thing," Tadic said in an interview to the local Bosnian Serb press ahead of his arrival in Srebrenica.
