Muslims. They forced Croats to gather in front of Sreco
Pavlovic's cowshed. Out of 40 Croats who came, only five were fit
for army service. They tied us with a rope, and those five who
were fit for army service were taken aside. The remaining 35
Croat civilians (women, children, elderly men) were taken to the
village of Mehurici. They locked us up in the so-called Savic's
house where we spent two days and two nights. After that they
allowed us to return to our village, where we saw the bodies of
the five men who were separated from us. The killed were as
follows:
1. Anto Petrovic (50 years old, Stipo's son);
2. Frano Pavlovic (30 years old, Mijo's son);
3. Stipo Pavlovic (45 years old, Jozo's son);
4. Tihomir Pavlovic (19 years old, Sreco's son);
5. Vlado Pavlovic (19 years old, Zorko's son).
B-H Army soldiers left the bodies of murdered Croats in Ivo
Pavlovic's house.
The dead bodies were lying face down. I saw rope marks on Frane
Pavlovic's neck.
After some time, members of UNPROFOR evacuated civilians from the
village of Miletici and transferred them to Nova Bila. The
following civilians were kept in the village against their will:
1. Ivo Pavlovic (born 1919);
2. Marko Pavlovic;
3. Mara Pavlovic (Marko's wife);
4. Zdravko Pavlovic;

in the Konjic district, and they claimed that they were members
of the special squad from Zenica. Upon their arrival from an
unsuccessful action, they maltreated Croat villagers of
Orahovica. They barged into Croat owned family houses, looted and
destroyed their property, and battered Croat civilians. This

mortar attack on the sections of Mostar that are not under B-H
Army control. The civilian targets in the districts Djikovina and
Panjevina, that is in the Hacamovih and Pavle Miletica streets
came under attack. Victims of this attack were Muslim and Croat
civilian residents in these sections. Five civilians were killed
(two Muslims), 20 seriously wounded and hospitalized (8 Muslims),
while three civilians were lightly wounded, but were not
hospitalized. The large number of victims may be explained by the
fact that the attack was launched suddenly and during the cease-
fire period.

DESCRIPTION OF REPORTED CRIME: Killing of civilians.

TIME AND LOCATION: July 18th, 1993, 9:00 p. m., the village of
Vucipolje, Kaici hamlet (cca 3 kilometres east of Bugojno).
SUMMARY OF REPORTED CRIME: B-H Army soldiers launched an attack
on the villagers of Kaici hamlet (the village of Vucipolje) on
July 18th, 1993, around 9:00 p. m. The civilians (women, children
and elderly people) hid in Marko Zivko's basement. The civilians
knew that their situation was grave, and they tried to save their
lives by leaving Kaici. Ivica Zivko (52 years old) went out of
the basement but was immediately shot by two bullets. B-H Army
soldiers dragged the wounded Ivica back to the basement where
women dressed his wounds and tried to stop them from bleeding.
That same evening, Frano Zivko was killed while he was trying to
leave the neighbouring basement. On the following day (July 19th,
1993), B-H Army soldiers allegedly took the wounded Ivica Zivko
to hospital. During the entire night July 18th/19th, 1993, a
guard stood in front of the entrance to the basement and he did
not let the civilians out even when in need of going to the
bathroom. On July 19th, 1993, around 8:30 a. m., all civilians
were threatened with fire arms and forced out of the basement.
They were accommodated in D. K.'s house. That same day, a B-H
Army soldier came to the house, cursed the civilians and fired a
machine gun barrage inside of the room where they were held,
forcing them to throw themselves on the ground in order to avoid
bullets. No one was hurt, but the shock was tremendous: the
children shouted, women and elderly people cried. In the
afternoon hours (July 19th, 1993) another B-H Army soldier came
into the room and ordered D. K. to go to the front-line and get
three wounded B-H Army soldiers out of there, otherwise they were
going to slit his son's throat. His son's name was R. K. and he
was seventeen years old. After D. K. fulfilled their command, B-H
Army soldiers ordered all Croats to leave the B-H Army controlled
territory.

m., a major shooting began in the town of Bugojno. I was standing
in front of my house in the village of Kula at the time. B-H Army
soldiers were stationed some 80 metres from where I was standing.
B-H Army and HVO units fought each other with short recesses
until Wednesday, July 21st, 1993..." According to the witness'
report, a lightly wounded member of HVO (D. V., born 1959)
arrived from the location called Rudine on Wednesday, July 21st,

Rudine:
1. Franjo Bijader;
2. Zdravko Bozic;

On the following day, July 22nd, 1993, the witness and the above

remove the bodies of HVO soldiers, transport them to the village
of Kula and bury them there in a decent manner. According to the

soldiers were killed, they saw the following: "... we found three
of them lying near the improvised pillbox, their bodies were
stabbed and carved with knives, one of them was beheaded, a
little farther away from those three bodies we found the body of
Franjo Bijader. He was also stabbed with knives, and it seemed as
if there was no part of his body that had not been stabbed. We
covered the bodies with branches and then we returned to the
village..."
