Tomislav Merčep

In 1991, on the outskirts of Tenja, Josip Reihl Kir, the chief of the Osijek Police Department and a man dedicated to negotiations and avoding war, was assassinated. Told through the statements of a few witnesses and archive materials from the era, this is a story about the last few months of his life, in the dawn of the bloodthirsty Croatian-Serbian war, which Kir had been trying hard to prevent.
