Speaking to reporters after the identification, which was confirmed by the victims’ family members, the minister said that the victims were four men – three civilians and one defender, all killed in 1991.

Their remains were exhumed at the Sarviz Dola locality near the village of Berak in the area of Vukovar in February and March this year. The remains of at least ten persons have been exhumed at that location so far.

The process of identification of other remains will continue as results of DNA analyses are obtained, and families will be invited to attend the identifications, Medved said.

Croatia is still looking for 1,812 persons gone missing in its war of independence, including 509 from Vukovar-Srijem County.
