Miro Vulić

Miro Vulić was born in 1944 in the village of Strujići, in Trebinje Municipality. In 1960 he came to Dubrovnik in search of work and decided to permanently settle there. He is a builder and he spent his working life at the Zidar construction firm, where in 1985 he was promoted to a managerial position. At the beginning of the war in Dubrovnik his family received threats over the telephone, after which camouflaged figures broke into his house and wounded him in the leg. In these circumstances, Miro Vulić reacted by firing a gun and was subsequently arrested. He spent 56 days in custody. During that time his house was devastated and his property stolen. After being released from prison he returned to his firm, but he continued working in a lower position. He spent most of the war in Dubrovnik. Since his attackers were unknown, the action he brought at the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia was denied, and he received no compensation. Today he is a member of the Pravda Association which seeks to help people whose property was destroyed or damaged by acts of terrorism during the war.
