Mayor Karić to unveil memorial plaque at Kazani on Monday

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - On Monday, November 15, the Kazani memorial dedicated to the citizens of Sarajevo murdered during 1992 and 1993 at the Kazani site will be unveiled.

Sarajevo Mayor Benjamina Karić will unveil the memorial, lay flowers, and pay tribute to the victims of Kazani at 12 PM.

"We will forever remember our murdered fellow citizens with sadness and respect," reads the text engraved on the memorial with the names of 17 murdered fellow citizens.

The Kazani memorial was erected by the City of Sarajevo on the initiative of Mayor Karić, who expressed readiness to finally resolve this issue at the very beginning of her term. The victims at Kazani, as well as all victims of the Siege of Sarajevo, deserve respect and a dignified memorial.

Otherwise, November 9 will be commemorated as the Day of Remembrance for citizens of Serbian nationality who perished at Kazani. This year it was not commemorated due to adverse weather conditions.
