“Tuzla Convoy of Salvation”, Novi Travnik

The “Tuzla Convoy of Salvation” bringing humanitarian aid was made up of a few hundred trucks, it was seven kilometres long and went from Split, through Gornji Vakuf, to Tuzla. The convoy was stopped on 10 June 1993 at a barricade set up by a large group of Croat civilians and soldiers in Rankovići, north of Novi Travnik. Eight drivers were shot, the vehicles were seized and the convoy was looted by civilians and soldiers. The convoy was stopped again by a group of local residents at the Dubravica checkpoint near Vitez. The remains of three people killed after the convoy was stopped have still not been found.
