Pahor thanked Duraković and emphasized that it would be a great honor for him to address the audience in Srebrenica on July 11.

- Slovenia is a friend of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we must make every effort to preserve the memory of the horrors that should not be forgotten so that they are never repeated - said Pahor.

Munira Subašić presented the activities of the Association since its founding in 1996, and emphasized that, despite the horrors they have survived, their goal is always respect for diversity and joint dialogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.

- Only in this way will it be possible to create a common future for our children and grandchildren - said Subašić.
