It is hard to establish how many have been buried at Partisan Memorial Cemetery.
In the previous question, we mentioned a quote from the Monument Preservation Commission which mentions “560 remains of fallen fighters, including 8 national heroes.”
Radmilo Braca Andrić, mayor of Mostar from 1969 to 1974 and later part of the commission for the reconstruction of the Partisan Memorial Cemetery, in a video interview (around the 2nd minute) mentions the remains of over 200 fighters: “somewhere around 200 and something are in the common ossuary there where wreaths are laid. These are the remains of partisans who died mostly in the Chetnik coup.”
In an article published in the newspaper “Sloboda” during the opening of the Partisan Memorial Cemetery in September 1965, it was mentioned that there were “common graves of fighters who died in Dramiševo, Kamena, Glavatičevo – Bjelimići, and Ovojci”. This would match the above statement by Braco Andrić. The following fallen fighters were killed in those locations by Ustashe &/or during the Chetnik coup:
