The remains of the two victims are ready for burial at the collective funeral, which will be held on July 20 at the Kamicani Memorial Center in Kozarac.
The spokeswoman for the Institute for Missing Persons of BiH, Emza Fazlić, told Fena that these are victims who were killed in 1992 in the area of Prijedor, and their remains were exhumed during the discovery of mass graves in Hrastova Glavica and Jakarin Kos.
Sikirić (Hamdija) Ferid will be buried this year in Kamičani. He was born in 1960 in Hambarine in Prijedor. He was killed in 1992 in the Omarska camp, and his remains were exhumed in 1998 from the Hrastova Glavica mass grave. On July 20, he will be buried in the martyr’s cemetery of Hambarina.
