Mass graveā»
In the village Hajvazi, located in Osmaci, on 20 September 2012, the International Commission on Missing Persons uncovered a mass grave containing the remains of eight Bosnian Muslim individuals, seven men and one woman killed by Serbs in November 1992 during the Bosnian War. The victims were piled atop of each other. Their remains were exhumed from the "mass grave," which was located in the yard of a private house. The exhumation concluded on 27 September 2012 and the remains were transportedāāto the Commemorative Centre in Tuzla for forensic testing and "DNA analysis to determine the identity of the victims." Following the discovery of the eight victims, there are still an additional 30 Bosnian Muslim victims from the Osmaci area that remain missing.
On 1 June 2013, some of the victims found in the mass grave were buried in a Å ehidsko mezarje (Martyr Cemetery) in MemiÄi alongside victims found in the Crni Vrh mass grave and the mass grave in KazanbaÅ”Äa by Zvornik.
