but missed market expectations as its business volumes lagged the broader logistics market recorded a quarterly volume decline of 1% in its sea logistics business while air logistics saw a 5% rise from a year earlier Volumes at both businesses were below the levels indicated by the broader market data Bernstein analysts said in a note to clients "We have been waiting for the quarter when Kuehne+Nagel catches back up with its large peers, and we are still waiting, as evidenced by still-soft volume numbers vs DSV DSV in Q4," they added. K+N reported earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 421 million Swiss francs ($470 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, missing analysts' median estimate of 430 million francs in a company-provided poll. The company's shares have underperformed the wider logistic sector over the past year, falling nearly 17% as of Monday's close. They dropped another 6% in early trade on Tuesday. Thomson ReutersStock performance of freight forwarder Kuehne+Nagel (KNIN.S) and its peers shown in percentage from March 1, 2024 to March 3, 2025 "We continue to see the backdrop as challenging for EBIT growth in 2025 and 2026 and remain cautious," JPMorgan analysts wrote. Logistics companies are likely to face slower profit growth in 2025 due to yields' normalization, softer demand and fading supply chain disruptions, Parash Jain, HSBC's global head of transport and logistics research, said ahead of the results. With growth in global container trade and air freight tonnes expected to halve in 2025, Jain was expecting logistic firms, and particularly K+N, to address their cost control measures. The company said it would provide a financial outlook for 2025 at its Capital Markets Day event on March 25. It did not mention possible cost measures in the press release.

So if you tuned in during that period of time, I am sure these jingles played at some point during those years.

Croatian Serb Sava Knezevic wanders through the remains of his house which was reduced to ruins during the Croatian war of the 1990s For 17 years he has been living in the barn next door eking out a living selling discarded plastic bottles without receiving the assistance promised by the authorities to rebuild his home Knezevic talks to a friend in the barn where he now lives only one electric socket and few possessions Knezevic's house was one of many destroyed in Croatia's bloody conflict of the early 1990s part of the break-up of the former Yugoslavia When Croatian troops recaptured areas controlled by Serb rebels during the war and Croatian authorities promised they would be given equal assistance in rebuilding damaged property many are still making do with basic or temporary living arrangements Drazen Matovic is another Croatian Serb who is still coping with the most basic living conditions He lives in an abandoned primary school in the village of Strmica that serves as a makeshift refugee camp for a small group of people he fled to Serbia with his parents to escape the fighting The 36 year old returned from Serbia in 2005 after his parents died He was sent to Strmica by the UN refugee agency and has been living in the school ever since Matovic says that neither Serbia nor Croatia will give him papers He survives on food handouts and finds comfort reading the Bible Ethnic conflict shook Croatia to the core during the bloody break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s both Serbs and Croats in the country still bear the scars – something clearly visible if you visit the areas around the southern town of Knin When Croatia declared independence in 1991 Serbs who wanted to remain part of Yugoslavia staged a bloody rebellion The town was recaptured by the Croatian army in 1995 and the Serb population fled in their thousands most of which were soon torched or blown up by the Croats some of the Serbs returned and Croatian authorities promised they would receive equal assistance in rebuilding their damaged properties preparing to join the European Union on July 1 has told the EU that houses for returning refugees would be constructed I thought I would go and investigate the situation and after a bit of research and a few phone calls I managed to find people to talk to both in Knin and the surrounding areas I found Croatian Serbs whose houses are still in ruins and who have survived on welfare since their return who has been living in a barn next to his destroyed home for 17 years now and ekes out a meagre living by collecting and selling discarded plastic bottles Instead of a toilet he uses bushes around the back a small bed and a wood burning stove - and these are almost all of his possessions Twenty kilometers northeast of Knin is the village of Strmica abandoned primary school that serves as a makeshift refugee camp Many of them are waiting for their apartments to be ready and I think some may have been there a long time But perhaps there’s not that long to go now; some new homes are more or less finished and they just need the water or electricity to be switched on as the school’s inhabitants weren’t that keen to talk They had been disappointed by the authorities but also by journalists who visited them and promised to bring help Many of the former school’s tenants refused to discuss their personal stories they were quick to shut the doors of their rooms but at the door I meet a young man in his thirties and decided to try my luck one more time I introduced myself and asked him to tell me his life story and he was a Serb who had been living in the school for eight years some 300 km (190 miles) away on the southern Adriatic coast but in 1992 he fled for Serbia in the midst of the fighting where he was sent by the UN refugee agency but he faces a major obstacle: he can’t get papers This means that any work he does would be illegal and he is not eligible for welfare payments either The problem is a Catch 22: The Croatian government says that he is Serbian while the Serbian government says he is Croatian he receives food that is brought in from Monday to Friday and he finds few ways to support himself so that he can eat on the weekends He told me he cried for two days when he was brought here in 2005 and that he felt enraged by the situation he started studying the Bible and became more positive and calm he would like to learn English and use a computer but without the necessary documents he can’t get a job I kept thinking how a person’s life can fall apart without it being their fault Drazen was 15 when the war happened; I was 7 The second phase of a project to establish a comprehensive and sustainable waste management system for Šibenik-Knin County Croatia has been implemented with EU funding Construction of the Bikarac waste management centre is the main element of the project a mechanical biological treatment plant has been built at the centre and two waste transshipment stations have been set up at Biskupija and Pirovac ‘Quality waste management is a prerequisite for sustainable development and one of today’s biggest challenges This is not just a question of a municipal service Vehicles have been acquired to transport waste between the transshipment stations and the waste management centre The stations will cut waste management costs so that a set price per tonne of waste can be offered to all local government units Technology for treatment of municipal waste has been purchased making it possible to create high-quality secondary raw materials that can be used in production processes Products obtained from waste management include paper The mechanical biological treatment plant can process up to 50 000 tonnes of waste a year It contains two units: one for mechanical and biological treatment; and one for composting Work on the plant entails the construction of buildings for mechanical treatment of mixed municipal waste and biological treatment of the organic fraction of mixed municipal waste – for instance and garden waste – and separated biowaste Further constructions are used for mechanical pre-treatment (shredding and mixing) of separated biowaste and storage of combustible waste and secondary raw materials Facilities have been set up for treatment of bulky waste baling of secondary raw materials and storage of compost prior to its distribution for sale and compost-like output from biological treatment before its disposal in landfill A compost packaging system and biofilters for treatment of waste gas have been installed and an administrative building and access roads have been built remediation measures were carried out on existing landfills prior to their closure in which waste is isolated from the environment and allowed to decompose into biologically and chemically inert materials A pilot project was implemented in Šibenik involving the separate collection of waste PET this scheme has been expanded across Šibenik-Knin County Additional features of the second phase include the installation of a drainage system for storm water and leachate – contaminated liquid from water percolating through the site – and education and publicity actions to help achieve waste management goals Total investment for the project “Establishment of a comprehensive and sustainable waste management system in Šibenik-Knin County – Bikarac county waste management centre – phase II” is EUR 29 177 382 with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 14 682 427 through the “Competitiveness and Cohesion” Operational Programme for the 2014-2020 programming period The investment falls under the priority “Environmental protection and resource efficiency” Ministarstvo regionalnoga razvoja i fondova

their regret over the tragedy in which a child lost its life and two people were injured The “Josip Markić” training area consists of three sections is fenced off and is owned by the Ministry of Defence The spatial plan of Šibenik – Knin County designates the “Josip Markić” military training area as an area of special interest for the Republic of Croatia The land used by the Croatian Armed Forces for training activities (firing positions and target areas – section 3) is bordered by the Dinara Nature Park Bilingual warning signs (in Croatian and English) saying “Danger Enter At Your Own risk!” are clearly displayed Six warning signs are displayed on all access routes leading to the target area Strict safety measures are implemented when military activities are conducted at the “Josip Markić” military training area to ensure the safety of both CAF members and civilians guard duty prevents unauthorized access and directs passers-by to safe areas Immediately before any firing exercises are held the area is inspected by unmanned aerial systems to ensure a safe environment for carrying out the activity The targets are positioned exclusively in the target area to prevent contamination of other parts of the training area Special attention is given to locating unexploded ordnance A monitoring team is organized to observe firing exercises while a pyrotechnician destroys or disposes of unexploded ordinance based on the information provided by the monitoring team the unit conducts clean-up and removal of explosive remnants the exercise commanders inspect the area (section 3) and collect all safe ammunition fragments for disposal as waste When military activities are conducted at the “Josip Markić” military training area the public is specifically informed through various channels: Radio Knin and other public media and the notice board displayed at the entrance to the “Josip Markić” military training area This board clearly details the current month’s activity schedule and zones including warnings on potential unexploded ordnance The Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces have no knowledge of the specific type of explosive involved in this incident The Zadar Police Department has reported that all traces found at the scene have been collected and will be sent for expert examination to the Forensic Science Centre “Ivan Vučetić” The warning signs clearly state that entry into the “Josip Markić” military training area is at one’s own risk and that it is possible to encounter unexploded ordnance The “Josip Markić” military training area has been in operation for decades and such a tragedy has never occured before Being a UN Volunteer was one of the most meaningful experiences in my life so far already at the end of a successful business career the unexpected excitement and humility of reaching out to truly touch peoples’ lives showed me that life can always bring the unexpected At a gathering with leaders from UNHCR and business associates By 1992 the Yugoslav Federation was falling apart The war in Croatia led to hundreds of thousands of refugees and reawakened memories of the brutality of the 1940s.  But the news of these people’s suffering had moved quickly from the front page of US newspapers to perhaps an afterthought footnote and asked those I knew in UNHCR if there was anything I could do to assist in repatriation efforts in the Croatia I didn’t look back - I would be a volunteer Allied bombers were still flying missions over Kosovo and daily life in the region was tense wherever you went had a full security briefing and was swept into a car that took me on a four-hour mountain pass journey from Zagreb via Karenica (border with Bosnia) and finally to Knin had been originally 80 percent Serbian ethnically and during the war the Serbian Peoples Army cleared the Croatian Catholics (in three to five years) from the community and subsequently the Croatian Army cleaned the area of most Serbs All of this involving some 250,000 poor souls Knin was the stronghold for the Serbs from 1990 onwards until Croatian forces captured it during Operation Storm in October 1995 The Operation became the largest European land battle since the Second World War and was a decisive victory for the Croatian army driving through villages where houses no longer had roofs or doors and the streets and playgrounds were eerily empty I realized that perhaps I had not really understood the impact of situation American pressure to end the war eventually led to the Dayton Accords of November 1995 which created self-governing entities within the area including Bosnia-Herzagovina The Agreement put an end to all military confrontation; it was to promote peace and stability in the region and around the former Yugoslavia A peace settlement to fully implement the Dayton Accords was an agreement that aimed to bring about the return of all refugees resulting from the hostilities Volunteering is what you as a person make out of it Upon my arrival in Knin I was assigned two staff personnel to help me find living accommodations and then I returned to the offices to be available for any jobs needed to be completed For the first few weeks UN personnel and I shared the duties of going out for runs for materials through the promise of repatriation of Croatians we needed to become more useful and assist in transporting people back from the Bosnian border to their homes in Knin and its surroundings Three or four nights a week we would drive to the Bosnian border and pick up Knin area residents that had been living in refugee camps in Serbia for three to five years Those evenings we never knew what would be in store for us Many people would see their former homes for the first time and due to their being occupied or/ and obliterated would hardly recognize where they had grown up or made their lives before the war We received police escorts and the ceaseless expertise from young UNHCR professionals But the actual taking these people ‘home’ became a major volunteer service to the community and the faces of many of these displaced people are forever embedded in my mind We went to pick up around 40 people one May evening except one elderly lady with around 30 pounds of luggage She could not recognize her own home and we were driving around for hours trying to find her house we UN Volunteers and UN driver continued to wind through back roads with this woman and were directed to a small dirt road by her frail frame no lights and only from the car headlights could we make out what seemed like a small farmhouse with no windows or doors The woman insisted this was her home and jumped out of the car to “move back in” A few days later the driver and I went back out to the place to deliver a stove she came out of the ram-shackled shelter beaming they were oblivious to the disaster around them UNV Scam Alert UNV Privacy Policy UNV Website Terms of Use You are using an

Simmonds 2024 – Much has been said about the state of Croatia’s railways and train connections in general but improvements are being (very slowly) made The Zadar-Knin railway line is set to make a comeback As Poslovni Dnevnik writes the Zadar-Knin railway is finally being restored after having spent a decade in a state of total disrepair Trains will run again and the train station in the centre of the city will be moved to Gaženica Port while the port and the centre will be connected by both trams and electric boats “This project is being financed from a loan provided by the European Investment Bank the second part will be financed from EU funds and the current plan is also to rebuild the station on this section and eventually purchase modern passenger trains,” says Josip Bilaver State Secretary in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs The carrying capacity of the Zadar-Knin railway will be increased to 22 and a half tonnes the railway from Bibinje and Sukošan will be relocated All types of vehicles will also have an intersection in Gaženica Port where the new Zadar Railway Station will be “Architect Pero Marušić made a proposal a study that would connect Gaženica itself with the city centre as a substitute after moving the station to Gaženica itself,” explained Darko Kasap head of spatial planning and construction of the City of Zadar Kasap added that road traffic would also be relieved by new lines of electric boats that would stop at the city’s communal ports Zadar’s locals are thrilled at these plans and can’t wait to use the new Zadar-Knin railway “I have a five-year-old child who has always wanted to travel by train I’m looking at where we could take her where is the closest place to us for them to experience the train… Šibenik but there’s nothing here from Zadar,” said Zadar resident Ana The selection of contractors for the reconstruction of the Zadar-Knin railway is now drawing to a gradual close and the works worth more than 90 million euros will

excited and overjoyed because of our Mateja every house in Knin was with her today,” Knin Mayor Marijo Ćaćić told Index, euphoric about the great success of 23-year-old Mateja Jelić from Knin who defeated Great Britain’s Lauren Williams in a dramatic taekwondo final and achieved the greatest success of Croatian taekwondo While she is a member of TK Marjan Split today she made her first steps in the Knin club DIV “I am proud of the results we achieve as well as the great work and effort invested by our coaches and athletes and Knin did not accidentally win a gold medal at the Olympics Congratulations to the professional team from Split Marjan and it was logical for her to continue her career in the most trophy-winning club Marjan Split is celebrating two medals today; we must not forget Toni Kanaet I can’t even describe how I feel; this is wonderful although I have to say that we are already used to Mateja’s successes She delighted us eight years ago when she became a junior world champion but mother Ljiljana does not want to be in the media; she told me that this is just Mateja’s day,” the mayor of Knin told Index It is known that Matea dreams of a welcome reception in Knin with an Olympic medal around her neck and Ćaćić confirmed that her dream would surely come true “We will prepare a reception for her following epidemiological measures The situation in Knin is good so far; today but only a few people from the same family who contracted COVID-19 earlier As soon as I contact Mateja’s family we will agree on all details around the reception and it will be something special,” said the mayor of Knin Mateja was accompanied throughout her career by Šibenik-Knin County Prefect Marko Jelić everyone knows who Matea Jelić is and what her name is but I know very well how much effort she put into getting to the top step of the podium.  I have known her since she was a child; she went to school with my daughter completely focused on what she wants to achieve I did not doubt that she would take an Olympic medal one day She didn’t surprise me at all; I was just afraid that some injury would burden her,” Jelić told Index and added: “Her success means a lot to our Knin Whoever comes to our city feels love for it but we who live here feel a little different today today she is also an Olympic winner and can choose where to spend her free time and create her life from the first steps to the Olympic podium,” Jelić concluded To follow the latest sports news in Croatia, follow TCN’s dedicated page To learn more about sport in Croatia, CLICK HERE.  The military leadership of the past Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK) the works of Carl von Clausewitz were read as it can now be ascertained from this time distance as part of a course at the Military Academy the creators of the Croatian action "Storm" put those "recommendations" into practice in the summer of 1995 Clausewitz's "center of gravity" is the basis of US military doctrine whose retired generals trained the Croatian army "The main battle on the battlefield is the impact of center of gravity on center of gravity and exploiting an adversary's center of gravity is one of the most complex war efforts To distinguish these centers of gravity in the enemy's army was the basis for disintegration not only in the army when the Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS) surrendered Kupreška vrata which in military doctrine was designated as one of the key geostrategic points in the Balkans Experienced poker player, president of the RS Radovan Karadzic who practiced gambling in the 49s in Belgrade's "Mažestik" while he was a psychiatrist of FK Crvena Zvezda knew that one should not gamble but play it safe because Bosnia and Herzegovina had to be divided in the ratio of 51:XNUMX percent And what good are the mountains without inhabitants in the Bosnian Krajina it's better if they serve as "pocket money" Then there is "cohabitation" around military operations - who cares about some Livanjsko or Grahovsko polje And the Croats used that to break through to Dinar from where they had the Knin Krajina in the palm of their hand One of the high-ranking officers of the then Serbian Army of the Krajina (SVK) told the author of this text how he called General Dušan Kukobat then Chief of Staff of the Second Krajina Corps of the VRS to exchange information and agree on joint actions on the Dinara to which the Croats are part of the action "Winter 1994" penetrated and to obtain information from the reconnaissance and sabotage detachment "Orlovi Grmeča" This information was never provided to him as if they were not two "brotherly" armies When the Croats occupied the strategically important Šator mountain Croats took control of Dinar during the spring of 1995 It is sad that even UNPROFOR admits that Croatian forces are shooting at their soldiers including in one case the commander of the "South" sector and his entourage and the Serbian side "condemns it in the strongest terms" but the moment the Croatian army captured Antić's head the downfall of the SVK and the fall of the RSK began Knin has been in the palm of their hand since April 1995 Disintegration of the Serbian Army of Krajina The North Dalmatian Corps of the SVK had two motorized brigades and four light infantry brigades It covered the area from Velebit above Obrovac to Dinara to Bosanski Grahov the 75th Knin and 92nd Benkovac motorized brigades each had about 3.000 men and that was certainly not enough to defend the front line bearing in mind that there were always half the people on vacation plus those who deserted before the "Storm" The testimonies of the officers of those units are interesting and they actually talk about the situation in the SVK and explain the quick defeat and collapse of the 7th Corps of the SVK my brigade commander was a reserve captain how to take the army to Dinar without anyone to command them who was watching how to arrange beds under a thread The former high-ranking officer of the SVK points out that there were reservists everywhere in the units the Krajišniks from Belgrade did not want to come they always "excused" themselves due to health problems in which the commanders are reserve officer-captains You have a brigade in which the commander is the only officer It refers to these four light infantry brigades In the 72nd (Benkovac) Motorized and 75th (Knin) at least you had officers in the command non-commissioned officers were always lacking but at least you had professional people who could organize something and the 'hole' gaping towards the enemy is huge They send parts of other units to help them "Someone deliberately 'sacrificed' that direction," said the retired officer also points to another fact - that before the fall of Knin and after the fall of Bosanski Grahov under Croatian control The author of this text was in Knin in those days There was a general mobilization in Knin at that time everything that was male and moved was mobilized and sent to Dinar there was a popular saying in the RSK that "the people of Knin do not fight" The people of Knin are the same as they were on the battlefields looking at the statistics of the number of dead and wounded is that Knin was the administrative seat of the RSK so it was created the impression that there were deserters in Knin and the few citizens of Knin who worked in government services were mostly mobilized and sent performed professional tasks without which the RSK administration system could not function One of the commanders on that "Dinaric direction" told the author of this text how 300-400 people were brought to him from the so-called Special Units Corps And the mobilization in the spring was in style: a policeman stops you on the street then in the bus and in the direction of the training ground in Slunj where you become a member of the Corps of Special Units of the RSK I see that they are lost in space and time my friend and experienced warrior: 'Bring them back don't carry them on my soul any more.' And he returned them." broadcast Franjo Tuđman's proclamation: "In the name of the democratic government I call on the members of the Serbian paramilitary units who have been voluntarily or forcibly mobilized into the Serbian paramilitary units to hand over their weapons to the Croatian authorities with the guarantee that they will be given to them." amnesty according to current Croatian laws I call on the initiators of the rebellion to realize the futility of their endeavor and its harm to the Serbian community in Croatia if they persist in the rebellion to surrender to the Croatian authorities and accept forgiveness or a fair trial for their crimes I call on Croatian citizens of Serbian nationality who did not actively participate in the rebellion to stay in their homes and welcome the Croatian authorities without fear for their lives and property with the guarantee that they will be given all civil rights and will be able to hold elections for local self-government according to the Croatian Constitution and Constitutional Law with the presence of international observers We are determined to end the suffering and uncertainty of Croatian exiles from the occupied territories and to guarantee the human and ethnic rights of Croatian Serbs in the constitutional and legal order of democratic Croatia." Most of those who believed in Tuđman's proclamation had their sufferings really ended - they were liquidated volleys of shells from artillery pieces or multi-barreled rocket launchers fell on Knin The targets were targeted selectively and indiscriminately: selectively military objects and indiscriminately to frighten the population as well as in the MUP; as someone who saw it with his own eyes out of 56 people who had special passes of the so-called State Information Pool avoiding shrapnel from the shells that littered the building along the way helped to put out the fire on the neighboring house carefree because not only did they leave on time but they also evacuated their families days before The only exception was the mayor of Knin and Minister of Information Drago Kovačević (unfortunately Chaos arose where it was no longer known who was drinking and who was paying the Main Headquarters of the SVK announces a fire alarm the telephone connections are disconnected cars and tractors with refugees from the village pass through the main street of Knin for hours towards the Sibenik battlefield Davidović was respected by all his colleagues because of his skill The commander of the North Dalmatian Corps appointed to this position just a few days before the "Storm" when the Croats practically "walk" into the "gate of Dalmatia" The newly appointed commander was not interested in the fact that at least three more brigades were needed to close that direction Neither is the fact that the forcibly mobilized are sent to defend the RSK against at least three times stronger members of the HV professional guard brigades Kovčević was given the rank of general in Serbia and the post of chief of armored and mechanized units of the Yugoslav Army General Milorad Stupar was rewarded even more swiftly he became the head of the Infantry Directorate Making jumps between cyclic volleys of shells I see a body being carried out in a black (dead) bag and the crime technicians tell me: Lieutenant Colonel Bojanic while other officers were running away from going to SVK He was on duty operative for RV and air defense in the SVK Command in Knin and then his colleagues told him to open the envelope with the orders and read them just took out Zastava's Magnum 357 and killed himself "Time" number 1648 Read daily news, analysis, commentary and interviews at www.vreme.com Serbian students repeated a hundred times that this is a marathon Similar to Adam Mihnjik in the eighties in Poland The government in Serbia is on the way to the end - you just need to be patient With the inclusivity created at the plenums students should continue during election engagement including the opposition at some point - whatever it may be © 2025 Time, Belgrade.

the sign reads "we are closed until further notice "Brica" ​​is still written on one of the shop windows Through a conversation with old residents of Knin I learned that the bricklayer in question had closed his shop even before the war While I was drinking "coffee with milk" in a cafe near the train station and reading a newspaper on my phone I came across a text on one of the extremely obscure Serbian portals that the "Ustasha" attack Serbian returnees but also those who just stop by to visit the house Reading dozens of similar articles that have been filling the tabloids lately one gets the impression that one cannot safely drive through Knin with a Serbian registration and if one happens to sit down somewhere for a coffee so that one does not accidentally hear the traces of an ekavica there are sporadic incidents - it happens that someone scratches the glass of a car or someone angrily looks at a car with BG plates Although I have stayed in Knin countless times since the beginning of the 2000s nothing unpleasant has ever happened to me It was quite normal to hang out with local Croatian kids who came to Knin after "The Storm" My grandmother Milka is in the column of Serbian refugees that August 1995 she left her hamlet of Medici near Knin She is completely surrounded by Croatian settlers who never cared about her ethnicity when it came to helping her Serbian registrations in Knin could be seen on every corner It happened on one occasion that a group of hooligans demolished a cafe in a village near Knin where the locals were watching a game of Red Star in the Champions League but an organized group of beaters who arrived from Split while the Croatian side celebrates the victory the situation becomes unpleasant for all those who left their lives in Knin at that time but even then there are generally no incidents The only thing is that it is not pleasant to listen to the hits of Marko Perković Thomson or Miroslav Škora all day from the stadium of FK Dinare but the stories that are being pushed in the Serbian public opinion that it is "dangerous" to go there are simply incorrect Knin is not the most ideal option for living but because the economic situation there is not at an enviable level The stone slabs placed around the "Storm" monument cracked this year due to excessive heat Total Croatia News In 2017 the SNV branch in Biskupija and the association of the families of missing persons “Protiv zaborava” (Against oblivion) unveiled a memorial commemorating the civilians killed at Uzdolje Today a religious service was held for the victims at the site and wreaths were laid and candles lit at the memorial by local ethnic Serb officials and Serb minority MP Anja Šimpraga The SNV recalled in a statement that the Documenta – Centre for Dealing with the Past nongovernmental organisation in August 2017 filed a criminal report against unidentified perpetrators for the crime committed at Uzdolje which no institution has yet acted on relies for the most part on facts about the crime on which light was shed in an investigation by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) primarily by witness statements,” the SNV said It recalled that the investigation by the ICTY showed that three men wearing camouflage uniforms with Croatian Army insignia on them and armed with machine guns, arrived by car in Uzdolje’s hamlet of Šare in the morning of 6 August 1995 They started abusing and intimidating elderly people they found in the hamlet taking away a group of villagers to a location near the Knin-Drniš road where one of the three men opened fire at them One person survived and managed to escape to a nearby forest The SNV said it was not clear what prevented prosecutorial authorities to further investigate the crime and called on them to do so For more on politics, CLICK HERE.
