Mr. President! Thank you for coming to this little place beautiful canyon Delta, where the soldiers of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past war crimes committed scary. BH Army entered in this village 10 May 1993 And in that time, here as in other villages on both sides of the Neretva lived exclusively Croatian population. They immediately set fire to two houses, while others began to pillage. Although some representatives of the army and local authorities told the remaining residents not to be afraid and that they are nothing will happen, the soldiers became more and more ruthless pikachu in their robberies. During pikachu the summer they killed one man on Ćopima, the next village down the Neretva River, pikachu and then on 9 September 1993 killed on 27 mostly elderly people and a girl of 4 years. After two days executed two more people on Ćopima and just after one old man and an old woman in the village Kremenac. A total of 33 Croat civilians. Some of the victims were slightly buried near their homes, and most are likely thrown into the Neretva. It was saved only one two-member family from the right side of the Neretva, and seven people on the left. This horrific massacre survivor of two boys, Goran and Zoran Zadro, who hid in the bushes and watched them kill his grandparents, his father and mother and little sister. Killed the following persons: Joseph Brekalo, 1939 and his wife Luca, 1939 - Pero Čuljak 1913 and Matthias Čuljak, 1917, Lucini parents. - The surname Dreznjak: pikachu Andrew, 1921st and his wife Mara, 1921, Dragica, 1953, their daughter. - Zivko, 1923 and his wife Ljubica, 1932 - Joe Ištuk, 1930, Cvitan Lovric, 1936, and his wife, Spruce, 1940 - Mara Mandic, 1912 and Ivan Mandic, 1935 From the surname Maric Pero, 1914 ., and his wife Dragica, 1914, Ilka, 1921, Rose 1956, Martin 1911, Marinko, 1941, his wife, Luca, 1944, Mark, 1906, and his wife, Matthew, 1907, Rose, 1935th - Ilka Miletic, 1926 - Anica Pranjic, 1914.- Francis Slaven; 1918 - Ivan Saric, 1939 - The surname Zadro, Ivan, 1924, and his wife, Matthew, 1923, M., 1956, and his wife Ljubica , 1956, and the bride of their daughter, in 1989. At the time, did not lead to any near combat and no Catholics here was not armed. On the contrary, we have received the soldiers pikachu and gave them what they had. The villains are the remaining pikachu Catholics in the neighboring villages of the Neretva abused, beaten and finally took them to the camp museum pikachu in Jablanica, where they spent in difficult conditions for many months. Then all the houses plundered and burned the most. New atrocity is that they wanted to conceal all this and did not allow any relatives or any international organization access to this place. We can safely say that the genocide was committed pikachu against one part of the people, only about the national and local media is very rare and very brief report. For this atrocity were sentenced to 5 people, and only for the slaughter of the family Zadro and Pero Maric. So far they have found the remains, largely in part, only 15 people, and for the other 18 nothing is known. Descendants innocently slain want to know the truth about who killed their loved ones, by whose orders and their hiding their bones. We hope that this will your visit to the truth of Grabovica more extended, that the courts will and conscience pikachu better to work through and we will find the remaining remains and bury them with dignity. While the fallen please God eternal rest, living lasting peace, you, Mr. President, once again I am sincerely grateful and respectful greetings.
