A twenty-year-long quest for justice for hundred of blown-up homes.

In the early 1990s, away from military operations and the front, in and around Bjelovar several hundred houses owned by local Serbs and Croatian opponents of the regime were damaged. The police characterised these bombings as terrorism, but have never caught the perpetrators. Twenty years later a group of citizens are still trying to claim damages from the state for their destroyed homes.
