OSIJEK OSIJEK, March 16 (Hina) - Experts at the Osijek Faculty of Medicine on Friday identified the remains of seven soldiers and civilians exhumed from mass and single graves in eastern Croatian towns of Dalj, Bogdanovci, Celije,
Lovas, Karadzic and Beli Manastir since 1997. Head of the Croatian government Office for Refugees and Displaced Persons Ivan Grujic said out of 3,200 victims exhumed so far from 126 mass graves, some 80 percent have been identified, mainly using the classical method of relatives' identification, but there still remain some 600 victims who are unidentified. Considering the fact that medical schools in Zagreb, Osijek and Split can identify up to 400 remains yearly, all still unidentified remains should be identified by the end of the year, Grujic said, adding that this definitely does not solve the problem to its end, because new exhumations will ensue.
