Slobodan Jakovljević
Slobodan Jakovljević was born in 1968 in Vukovar. During the political turmoil and the break-up of Yugoslavia he was in Vukovar with his family. Before the beginning of the war, on June 29, 1991, his father was shot on the doorstep of their family house, by persons wearing Croatian Army uniforms. In August 1991 Slobodan Jakovljević sought refuge in Sombor, but by December, following the fall of Vukovar, he returned and carried on living in Vukovar, within the area of SAO [Serb Autonomous Region of] Krajina. In 1998 he sought to have criminal charges brought against unknown perpetrators for the killing of his father, but no one was ever arrested nor was the crime processed. He also brought an action for damages, but the claim was rejected and he was ordered to pay the court expenses amounting to 40 000 Kuna. He is a member of the association of Serb families of murdered, killed, missing, abducted and invalid persons “Protiv zaborava” [Against Forgetting]. Today he lives in Vukovar with his family.
