Bosnia and Herzegovina: War commemorations and explosive discoveries

In Mrkonjić Grad, commemorations were held to mark the 31st anniversary of the displacement of over 120,000 Serbs from western municipalities during the war. The ceremony included a memorial service at a mass grave site where 181 bodies were previously exhumed. Officials noted that among the 2,214 killed, 753 were civilians, and many individuals remain listed as missing.

In Kiseljak, police responded to the discovery of an unexploded hand grenade near the entrance of the RTV Herceg-Bosne office. The device was located near a residential building and a business premises. While the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Travnik investigated the circumstances, they stated there were no immediate elements of a criminal offense identified. The explosive was safely removed by a civil protection team.

Additionally, in Bratunac, the Institute for Missing Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina reported the discovery of skeletal remains at the Kameničko brdo site. The remains, believed to be victims of the Srebrenica genocide, have been transferred to the Memorial Center in Tuzla for DNA analysis and identification.
