(Patria) - By laying flowers and paying tribute, the 18th anniversary of the death of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina General Zićro Suljević was marked today in the harem of Alipaša Mosque in Sarajevo.

In addition to veteran associations, comrades-in-arms, and family members, the flowers were also laid by the Minister for Veteran Affairs of Sarajevo Canton, Omer Osmanović.

- As a brave and decisive commander, General Suljević made an immeasurable contribution to the defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving behind an example of honor, responsibility, and selfless service to his homeland.

His sacrifice obliges us to cultivate a culture of remembrance and to pass on to future generations the truth about those who built the foundations of our freedom with their lives.

We remember General Suljević with special respect, whose heroism still reminds us today of the values worth fighting for - it was stated at today's commemoration.

At the beginning of the aggression, Suljević became a member of the Staff of the Territorial Defense of BiH. Almost until the very end of the aggression, he served as the head of the Operational Staff of the Army of RBiH, after which he began to lead the Strategic Research Group in the Armed Forces of BiH. From that position, he retired for the second time.

General Zićro Suljević passed away on March 23, 2008, in Sarajevo after a serious illness.
