60 CORPSES LOCATED IN THE DRINA RIVER NEAR VISEGRAD

The remains of some 60 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) civilians, including small children, from the 1992 Visegrad massacre have been found in Perucac lake, reported Federal News Agency today.

"All of them were thrown into the lake in Visegrad or a few kilometres farther in Muhici and Krutalici, where they had been killed. The bodies then floated downstream on the Drina river to Bajina Basta hydroelectric power plant, then stopped ... hooked on branches or stuck in the shallow mud and sand," said Amor Masovic, the Chairman of the Institute for Missing Persons.

Some 500 Bosnian Muslim men, women and children were killed on various bridges and dumped into the Drina river within over a period of one month in 1992.

This location is one of 15 established locations along the banks and bottom of an artificial lake used as a reservoir for a local hydro power plant. According to the Commission On Missing Persons, hundreds of partial or complete human remains are scattered along flooded banks and the lake bed. Visegrad was the site of one of the most notorious ethnic cleansing campaigns led by Bosnian Serb forces who expelled and killed a large number of the town's predominantly Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) residents at the beginning of the 1992-1995 war. The district (municipality) of Visegrad is a neighbouring municipality bordering with Srebrenica. The 1992 Visegrad massacre occurred more than three years before the Srebrenica genocide.
