FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Several thousand people, many coming from distant places, gathered in Visegrad on Saturday to attend the funeral of 66 Muslims whose bodies were found in a lake 15 years after the end of the war.
The remains were found in 2010 during a search of Lake Perucac and were identified through DNA tests.
The oldest victim buried was 86 while the youngest was a three-and-a-half-year-old boy killed together with his mother, whose body has yet to be discovered.
Following the funeral, the mourners went to a bridge over the Drina, where they threw flowers into the river in memory of the victims of the conflict.
Between April and June 1992, ultranationalist Serb forces killed over 1,500 Muslims in Visegrad and nearby areas and all the rest of the Muslims were forced out of their homes in a wave of ethnic cleansing in eastern Bosnia.
According to survivors, a number of bodies were thrown into the Drina, which marks the frontier between Bosnia and Serbia, and washed down into Lake Perucac.
The Serbs engaged in particularly grave atrocities in Visegrad. People were locked in houses and burned alive, while hundreds of women were raped, according to the findings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
In July 2009, the court sentenced two former Bosnian Serb paramilitaries, Milan Lukic and his relative Sredoje Lukic, to life imprisonment and 30 years respectively after finding them guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Visegrad.
The inter-ethnic war in Bosnia left about 100,000 people dead and more than two million people became refugees or internally displaced persons.
