32nd anniversary of death of youngest Homeland War victim commemorated

Author: Marija Šestan

ZAGREB, 26 Sept (Hina) - A memorial ceremony was held in Grabovac on Tuesday to mark the 32nd anniversary of the killing of three children at the start of the Homeland War, including the youngest victim, a three-month-old baby, Ivan Špoljarić,  who died in a shelling on 26 September 1991.

Dubravka Špoljarić (17) and Josipa Špoljarić (18), who were staying at the refugee camp Grabovac, also lost their lives when Serb forces shelled the camp from the nearby hills.

The three children and their mothers had fled their village of Korana in the Plitivce Lakes area to seek shelter in the refugee camp.

Today's commemorative event included wreath-laying ceremonies and prayers.
