OSIJEK, June 11 (Hina) - The remains of six Croatian soldiers and civilians, killed in the great-Serbian aggression, were identified at the Osijek Faculty of Medicine on Monday. There is evidence that these persons, whose remains were exhumed from mass and individual graves in Dalj, Berak and Sotin, had died violently. The head of the Government Office for Missing and Detained Persons, Ivan Grujic, said at least 15-20 identifications would be carried out this month. Exhumation works will resume today in the Okucani area, wells at several locations in Vukovar-Srijem County are being investigated and exhumations are expected to start in the Banovina and Danube River regions. Grujic said the remains of six victims buried in Yugoslavia should be handed over this month. It is estimated that some 300 victims, who had been abducted or taken to Yugoslavia in some other way, were buried there, of which 50-80 were buried at a Novi Sad cemetery, Grujic said. So far, a total of 128 mass graves have been discovered in Croatia, with 3,245 victims, of whom 2,604 have been identified. Another 1,480 persons are still held missing, Grujic said. (hina) sb rml
