ZAGREB, June 1, 2018 - Croatian Interior Minister Davor Božinović opened the 26th International Meeting on Forensic Medicine Alpe-Adria-Pannonia in the northern Adriatic city of Pula on Friday.
Božinović said the conference, attended by approximately 100 participants from 20 countries, including forensic medicine experts, would focus on the issue of persons who went missing amid increased migration waves, their identification as well as issues of clinical forensic medicine.
Božinović expressed satisfaction with the fact that this was the fourth time Croatia was hosting the conference. He recalled that Croatia had a modern forensic institute – the Ivan Vucetic Institute in Zagreb – which is a leading forensic institute in this part of Europe with more than 60 accredited methods from all forensic areas.
Božinović also said the Croatian police was up to the challenge of illegal migrations, recalling a large migrant wave between September 2015 and March 2016, when more than 650,000 people passed through Croatia.
