Twelve war victims were buried on Tuesday at the Kamicani Memorial Centre in Kozarac, at a ceremony that was attended by the Bosniak and Croat members of the tripartite Bosnian presidency, Sefik Dzaferovic and Zeljko Komsic.

Their remains had recently been exhumed from mass graves at Koricani Cliffs, Tomasica, Hrastova Glavica, as well as from sites in Kozarac.

The statement was signed on Friday in Sarajevo at a meeting between Islamic leaders and the Bosnian reis-ul-ulema or chief mufti, Husein Kavazovic.
