A spokeswoman of 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 the mass graves of Hrastova Glavica and Jakarina Kosa.
Ferid (Hamdija) Sikirić 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 at the cemetery of Hambarine.
