THE BOSNIAN BOOK OF DEAD On June 21 2007, the Centre recently published the most extensive research on 's citizens killed and missing during the 1992-1995 war. An international team of experts evaluated the findings before they were released. More than 240,000 pieces of data have been collected, processed, checked, compared and evaluated by international team of experts in order to get the final number of more than 97,000 of names of victims, belonging to all nationalities. Of the 97,207 documented casualties in Bosnia-Herzegovina, 83 percent of civilian victims were Bosniaks , 10 percent of civilian victims were Bosnian Serbs and more than 5 percent of civilian victims were Bosnian Croats , followed by a small number of others such as Jews or Roma . The percentage of Bosniak victims would be higher had survivors of Srebrenica not reported their loved-ones as "soldiers" to access Social Services and other government benefits. The figure could rise by a maximum of another 10,000 due to ongoing research. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
