Summary:
On 8-9 April 1999, the Federation Commission on Missing Persons - Croat Side exhumed the remains of 37 individuals from seven cemeteries in and around the city of Bugojno. The purpose of the exhumations was to verify identities of a reported 40 missing persons in the Bugojno area. The seven cemeteries were Goruša, Grabovi, Bristovi, Biljeg (Glavice), Lenderovina, Čaušlije, and Sultanovići.
Most of the bodies that are the subject of interest in this series of exhumations relate to events surrounding the so-called "Fall of Bugojno," dating from 21-24 July 1993. At this time Bosnian Croats had accepted the transfer of Bugojno and several other central Bosnian towns to their control, in accordance with the Vance-Owens Peace Plan, but the Bosniaks had not accepted the plan. When Bosnian Croat (HVO) forces attempted to exert control over local Bosniaks and relocate them, Bosniak police and soldiers began organized resistance. Muslims are the predominant ethnic group in Bugojno and in the surrounding area, and the Bosniak forces prevailed in the ensuing fighting.
