VUKOVAR, May 15 (Hina) - About 30 Serbian reporters who cover war crimes trials on Monday arrived in Vukovar, which is the first stop on their four-day tour of Croatia.

The journalists, accompanied by Serbia's deputy chief prosecutor for war crimes, Bogdan Stankovic, and the spokesman for the Belgrade-based war crimes tribunal, Bruno Vekaric, will also visit Osijek, Zagreb and Split.

Asked by the guests about the ongoing war crimes proceedings in Vukovar, the head of the Vukovar County Court, Ante Zeljko, said that the court had been conducting 49 trials for war crimes committed in that part of eastern Croatia.

So far, 238 perpetrators have been indicted and 178 of them were tried in absentia.

The County Court has made final rulings in cases of 45 war criminals, with jail sentences ranging from two to 20 years, Zeljko added.

The Serbian reporters and photo-reporters visited the Ovcara farm outside Vukovar, the site of a massacre of 200 wounded Croatian soldiers and civilians committed by Serb rebels and JNA troops in late November 1991, after the captured were abducted from the Vukovar hospital.

"Serbia has not yet actually realised what exactly happened at Ovcara and Vukovar. Our job is to try to help the Serbian public understand that the crimes were not committed by patriots but, I believe, by psychopaths," Stankovic told local Croatian reporters.
