He will pay tribute to the victims of crimes against Muslim refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina

"We remind you that in May and June 1992, the Montenegrin police illegally arrested at least 66 civilians who fled to Montenegro from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and handed them over as hostages to the Bosnian Serb army to serve as prisoners of war exchange. Most of those extradited were killed immediately, the rest were killed in the camps, and a few survived the torture and were eventually exchanged," the statement said.

Non-governmental organizations Action for Human Rights, Center for Civic Education and Anima will lay flowers tomorrow and jointly honor the victims of crimes against Muslim refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina in front of the building of the Herceg-Novi Security Center, from where most of the refugees were illegally deported.

In the statement signed by the executive directors of Human Rights Action (HRA), Center for Civic Education (CGO) and Anime - Tea Gorjanc Prelević, Daliborka Uljarević and Ljupka Kovačević, it is reminded that these days are 23 years since the execution of crime against Muslim refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, better known as "Refugee Deportation".

"We remind you that in May and June 1992, the Montenegrin police illegally arrested at least 66 civilians who fled to Montenegro from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and handed them over as hostages to the Bosnian Serb army to serve as prisoners of war exchange. Most of those extradited were killed immediately, the rest were killed in the camps, and a few survived the torture and were eventually exchanged," the statement said.

It is added that some of the victims deported from Herceg-Novi on May 27, 1992 still do not know their graves or where they were killed.

It is recalled that the non-governmental organizations HRA, CGO and Anima and the president of the Council for Citizen Control of Police Work, Aleksandar Saša Zeković, launched three initiatives three or four years ago.

"The initiative to the President of the Parliament of Montenegro, Ranko Krivokapić, and all the heads of parliamentary clubs, to declare May 27 as the Day of Remembrance for the victims of the crime of deportation of refugees from Montenegro in 1992, and in 2012, an initiative was also sent to the Montenegrin police to issue an apology for the application of police authorizations during the deportation of refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina", the statement specifies.
