(ANSA) - TRIESTE, MAY 16 - This week, Croatian representatives received the remains of 500 victims of postwar killings who have been unequivocally identified as Croatian, according to the Slovenian news agency STA. Part of the ceremony was held in Maribor, where Minister of Croatian Veterans Tomo Medved laid a wreath in the memorial park at the Dobrava Cemetery. The Ministry of Croatian Veterans organised the handover ceremony in accordance with an agreement reached last summer during a session of the Slovenian-Croatian intergovernmental commission for the management of war graves. The remains of 500 Croatians killed in Slovenia following WWII were discovered in Trebče, Podstenice, Košnica pri Celju, and Cerklje ob Krki. The majority of those killed were members of Slovenian, Croatian, and Serbian pro-Nazi or anti-communist militias that the allies had returned from Austria to Yugoslavia, but there were also civilians among them.
