Brisevo commemorates 67 war victims

Banja Luka Catholic Franjo Komarica on Wednesday reiterated his appeal for investigating the murder of 67 Croatian victims by Serb forces in the village of Brisevo, northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, on 24 and 25 July 1992, at the outbreak of the war in that country.

Twenty years ago, local villagers, of whom the youngest victim was 14 year old and the oldest was aged 87, were killed by the Serb units.

Today, commemorations and prayers were held for those victims in the local rebuilt Catholic church.

In attendance was Croatia's Ambassador to Bosnia, Tonci Stanicic. (Hina)
