Siniša Glavašević

[2] A native of Vukovar, Glavašević finished primary school there and entered the University of Sarajevo, where he graduated with a degree in Comparative Literature.

On 16 October 1991, Glavašević said on Croatian Radio:Vukovar submits to Croatia, Europe and the world - either the Croatian authorities will do everything to obtain a permanent cease-fire, or they will send the necessary and efficient assistance, of the military kind, or they will evacuate the entire civilian population of this area.

There is another option, and that is the complete and final destruction of the city and a massacre of the population, as well as two hundred and fifty heavily wounded.

On 18 November 1991, Glavašević sent in his last report, which ended with: The picture of Vukovar at the 22nd hour of the 87th day [of the siege] will remain forever in the memory of the witnesses of this time.

Both Glavašević and fellow journalist Branimir Polovina [sh], a native of Ovčara, were featured cases in Amnesty International's 1993-94 Campaign Against Disappearances and Political Killings.
