Siniša Gašparević

Siniša Gašparević was born in 1981 in Split. Before the war in the 1990s he lived with his parents and his brother in Žrnovnica, near to Split. He had a happy childhood; his parents ensured a comfortable life for him and his brother. His father was the owner of a retail business and his mother was a primary school teacher. In February 1992 his father and mother were taken from their house in Žrnovnica at gunpoint, whilst the children were sleeping in their rooms. Their bullet-riddled bodies were found on February 8th in a dump not far from their house. At the time Siniša was eleven years old, and his brother six years old. No one has so far been prosecuted for the murder of their parents. After their deaths, Siniša's grandparents took care of him and his brother, and they moved to Split. Today, Siniša lives in Split and works as an economist.
