Statement by the Government of the RS Commission to address the issue of hidden graves in the process of amending the Law on Hidden War Graves and the Burial of Victims

The article reports that a commission has rejected amendments to the Law on Buried War Graves and the Burial of Victims solely due to political maneuvering. The commission previously examined in 2016 the possibility of burying remains of 1,410 victims in the memorial park Bukovžlak-Teharje but concluded it was not feasible due to several reasons. The park is only partially built, requiring ecological sanitation before any further work can begin. This process is ongoing and depends on the completion of titanium dioxide production in Celje, which is expected to take time. As a result, the memorial park cannot be completed or upgraded during this period. Additionally, the commission emphasizes that, based on its responsibilities under the relevant law, it has repeatedly decided that the only suitable location for burial of unburied deceased is Ljubljana, the capital city.

Bias read (Center): The article presents information about the commission’s decision and its rationale without overtly favoring either side. It provides factual background on the feasibility of the proposed burial site and references legal authority, suggesting a balanced approach rather than a clear ideological slant.
