On 26. maja 1992. a convoy of Bosniak civilians who were to be deported to Macedonia was organized by Bosnian Serb authorities in Visegrad. In the First Report on the War Crimes in the Former Yugoslavia(Submission of Information to the United Nations Security Council in Accordance With Paragraph 5 of Resolution 771 (1992), September 22, 1992″ ) it is reported that near Bosanska Jagodina “an employee of the bus company that was transporting the refugees said that the group was stopped outside Bosanska Jagodina later that day by a group of armed men, and that he saw 17 male refugees taken from the buses and “liquidated.” The killers were members of two Serbian “volunteer” groups operating in a local Serb “territorial defense” formation, which had been systematically abducting and murdering Muslims in the region.”

In 2006. their remains were found in a mass grave in Crncicima. According to the Commission for missing persons in B&H the following were excecuted that day : Bajro Murtic, Smail Racic, Hidajet Račić, Mirsad Veletovac, Kemal Maluhić, Sead Šuško, Midhat Kasapović, Avdo Veletovac, Ahmo Kadrić, Esad Tabaković, Bajro Beširević, Mehmed Džagadurov, Hamed Zukić, and one person with the surname Kasapović from the village Žagre near Višegrada.

On June 1st 2009, Bosniaks paid their final respects to 43 civilian victims from Zvornik. More than 5000 people attended the funeral. So far, 617 victims have already been DNA identified and laid to rest in Gornja Kalesija cemetery.

“We have seen with our hearts and felt with our souls what they had done to us. Sead was only 17 years old. He was attending a school. I begged the Serbs to let him go. They knew he was only a student. Our Serb neighbours from nearby villages came and took my sons. They told me: ‘Go home. Nothing will happen to your sons.’ They also took my husband, my father in law, 19 members of our family. They killed them all,” said Šeća.
