For the first time, the government's report includes not only the victims of Croatian nationality but also people whom the government of Serbia and Montenegro is searching for.
Deputy prime minister Jadranka Kosor said Croatia was still searching for 1,139 people from the 1991 list of missing people and 915 persons from the lists issued by the government of Serbia and Montenegro and the international Red Cross.
Five mass graves containing the bodies of victims of the Serb aggression have been found in Croatia in the past two years and the authorities received information on another 215 locations with mass and individual graves. In the same period, the remains of 144 persons have been exhumed.
Kosor said that additional two million kuna have been secured in this year's budget for the exhumation and identification of victims.
Milorad Pupovac of the Independent Democratic Serb Party praised the fact that the report includes all missing people, regardless of which side they they fought on in the war. He said this represented a significant progress adding there could not be discrimination among the victims.
