PHOTOS OF CLOTHES, BELONGINGS OF UNIDENTIFIED WAR VICTIMS SHOWN PUBLICLY IN VUKOVAR

VUKOVAR, Jan 16 (Hina) - Photographs of clothes and personal belongings that have been found with 272 unidentified victims exhumed from mass graves in the Vukovar area, eastern Croatia, were displayed in Vukovar on Saturday. The photos were disclosed by the Croatian Government Commission for the Detained And Missing Persons as a part of its efforts to identify those 272 victims who died during the Serbian aggression against Croatia. The photos along with relevant descriptions will have been shown publicly in Vukovar Town Hall from 10-17 hrs every day by 24 January. The clothes and belongings, photos of which are disclosed, were found with unidentified victims, exhumed from mass graves at Vukovar's 'Novo Groblje' (cemetery), in Dalj, Marinci, Negoslavci, Vucedolski Vinogradi, Marinovci, Bogdanovci and Karadzicevo. The photos are accompanied by protocols sent by the Yugoslav authorities. The protocols contain photos of exhumed victims, their belongings as well as medical characteristics of the killed, said the Croatian Commission's head, Ivan Grujic. Croatia was given 1,097 protocols from Yugoslavia, which had already been displayed in Vukovar, but they were not sufficient for the full identification, Grujic added. After being displayed in Vukovar, these photos will also be shown publicly in Split, Pula and Zagreb. (hina) ms
