History of the Serbs

4 former members of Bosnian Serb army arrested

SARAJEVO -- Four persons suspected of war crimes committed against Bosniak civilians in Sanski Most have been arrested on the towns of Prijedor and Banja Luka.

The arrests were carried out by members of the the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

ZAGREB - The remains of 20 Serbs killed in the armed clashes in Croatia were identified at the forensic institute of the School of Medicine in Zagreb on Wednesday.

The identification was attended by the victims' family members.

The remains of the victims, killed between 1991 and 1995, had been exhumed in Slunj, Zadar, Sibenik, Novska and other locations.

GLINA - Serbs were verbally attacked and insulted during a peaceful protest against the decision of the local government in Glina, central Croatia, to ban memorial services and commemorations at the site where the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin once stood and in which Croatian Nazi troops Ustashas massacred 1,500 Serbs back in 1941.

Refugees who fled Croatia during the 1990s war asked the Belgrade authorities to erect a monument dedicated to Serb victims who died during the conflict.
