On 1 January 2021, around 10:00 CET, in the village of Tribistovo, near the town of Posušje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, eight teenagers – four boys and four girls – of Herzegovinian Croat ethnicity were found dead in a holiday cottage after a New Year's Eve celebration. The cause of death was determined as suffocation from carbon monoxide poisoning, instigated by a power generator used to heat the cottage.
The tragedy received widespread media coverage from many local and international outlets, prompting a national day of mourning on 2 January, while the Government of the West Herzegovina Canton declared three days of mourning from 2–4 January.[1][2] The Government of Croatia declared a national day of mourning on 5 January.[3] The victims' funerals were attended by thousands of citizens from both countries.[4]
