MOSTAR/SARAJEVO, Dec 22 (Hina) - The president of Bosnia's commission for the tracing of missing persons suspects the "existence of some kind of pact" on non-aggression between European and world officials and Bosnian Serb war-time
leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. Addressing a panel of Muslim intellectuals in Sarajevo on Saturday, Amor Masovic said war criminals obstructed the identification of war victims by transferring their remains from original to other mass graves. "That and the fact that the international community is completely indifferent towards criminals such as Karadzic and Mladic and many others are an additional factor leading many families of missing persons to think, and I agree, that there is some kind of non-aggression pact between these criminals and officials in Europe and the world," said Masovic. The remains of more than 13,500 war victims had been exhumed in Bosnia
MOSTAR/SARAJEVO, Dec 22 (Hina) - The president of Bosnia's
commission for the tracing of missing persons suspects the
"existence of some kind of pact" on non-aggression between European
and world officials and Bosnian Serb war-time leaders Radovan
Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.
Addressing a panel of Muslim intellectuals in Sarajevo on Saturday,
Amor Masovic said war criminals obstructed the identification of
war victims by transferring their remains from original to other
mass graves.
"That and the fact that the international community is completely
indifferent towards criminals such as Karadzic and Mladic and many
others are an additional factor leading many families of missing
persons to think, and I agree, that there is some kind of non-
aggression pact between these criminals and officials in Europe and
the world," said Masovic.
The remains of more than 13,500 war victims had been exhumed in
Bosnia and Herzegovina before the Dayton peace agreement was signed
in 1995. The identity of 55 percent of the victims was established.
Women accounted for 13 percent of those killed, and children
younger than 18 for two percent.
Around 28,000 people are still listed as gone missing in the 1990s
war, most of them Muslims who disappeared in the Bosnian Serb
entity.
