A dark chapter of post-war history in western Serbia has resurfaced following the discovery of a mass grave in the Cerova pit, on the hill above the village of Mu\u0161vete on Zlatibor. Deep below the surface, the skeletal remains of victims from the end of World War II were uncovered, with the horrifying detail that their hands had been tied with wire before execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pit was discovered by fresco painter and speleologist Dimitrije Mirko \u0106eli\u0107 from Prigrevice near Apatin, who, along with colleagues from the Belgrade speleology club \u201cAsak,\u201d descended into a previously unexplored cave, guided by local oral history about mass graves in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a depth of around 15 meters, in a spacious underground chamber, multiple skeletons were found. Beneath the entrance of the pit, a large pile of stones was discovered, suspected to conceal additional human remains yet to be uncovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
