A wreath was laid and candles were lit at a memorial plaque outside the Velepromet company in the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar on Sunday to mark the 20th anniversary of the suffering of about 10,000 Croatian defenders and civilians who were detained on the company's compound during the Serbian military aggression and occupation of Vukovar.
According to the Croatian association of former Serb-run concentration camp inmates (HDLSKL), about 700 Croatian defenders and civilians were killed in Velepromet hangars, many of whom remain unaccounted for.
Dragutin Guzovski, the association's vice president, said "no one has been held to account yet for the crimes committed at Velepromet, the largest concentration camp in Europe after World War Two."
The camp was set up in mid-September 1991 and closed the following March.
Mass was said for all those killed there. The HDLSKL, which laid the wreath and lit the candles, also set up an exhibition on victims of former Serb-run concentration camps and on Vukovar's victims in the Homeland War.
