On the eve of the 31st anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, preparations for this year's collective funeral prayer at the Potoฤari Memorial Center have already begun, as highlighted, while the families of the victims continue to await answers about the remaining mass graves and the number of victims to be buried this year.
The president of the association, Nura Begoviฤ, emphasized the importance of cooperation with the Institute for Missing Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also pointed out the painful identification processes.
"We are interested in the graves. Even for those that are marked, we are calling for urgent exhumations. Every bone, every part of the body that has not yet been found pains us. Often they are just fragments, but we will not give up until the last part of our loved ones finds peace," Begoviฤ stated.
She particularly highlighted the process of reassociation, which involves adding found remains to already buried victims, appealing to families to decide on burial even in cases of incomplete skeletons.
"We understand the pain, but years are passing and we must ensure that our loved ones are buried with dignity while there are still those who will complete this process," Begoviฤ added.
She also directed criticism at political structures, emphasizing that crimes must not be denied or relativized, and that the judiciary must do its job.
Today's protest was attended by students as well as citizens from several cities, which, it was stated, gives strength to the survivors to continue the fight.
The silent walk concluded with a religious program and prayers for the victims, along with the message that gatherings will continue every 11th of the month until justice is served and all victims find their peace.
