SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Officials say about 50 public employees in Sarajevo will help forensic experts search for the remains of people killed during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war and thrown into the Drina River.
Amor Masovic, the head of the Bosnian Institute for Missing Persons, said Monday that transit landscaping and mortuary workers will help his 12 experts inspect 72 miles (116 kilometers) of muddy lake banks in the next week. That’s when the water level of Lake Perucac will be low due to dam maintenance.
Over 1,000 Muslim Bosnians disappeared from around the city of Visegrad in 1992 when Serb forces took control of the area. Over a hundred skeletons have already been flushed to the shores of the man-made lake, which is fed by the Drina River.
