Memorial ceremonies were held on Wednesday in tribute to 12 police officers who had been killed and mutilated by Serb paramilitary forces in Borovo, eastern Croatia, 22 years ago.
Delegations of the Vukovar-Srijem County Police Department laid flowers and lit candles on their graves in towns where they are buried.
The 12 men were killed in an ambush during the night between May 1 and 2, 1995 after they came to rescue two of their colleagues who had been captured by Serb paramilitaries while on regular patrol. Twenty-one policemen were wounded then.
