Novoseoci massacre

1992 mass murder in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Novoseoci massacre was the mass murder of 45 Bosniak civilians from the neighboring villages of Novoseoci and Pavičići on 22 September 1992 committed by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) in Novoseoci, Sokolac municipality, and Ivan Polje landfill on the way to Rogatica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Members of the VRS killed a woman in the village, then transported 44 men and boys to the Ivan Polje landfill, where they shot them dead. Exhumation at the landfill revealed additional eight victims from Han Stjenica, Rogatica municipality. Other sources state that civilians were killed on a meadow in Novoseoci – on the spot, and later transported to Ivan polje. Serb authorities made a landfill over the bodies for local settlements to cover the crime.
