Sarajevo Red Line

The Minister for Veterans' Affairs of Sarajevo Canton, Hajrudin Grabovica, and the president of the Association of Parents of Children Killed during the Siege of Sarajevo 1992-95, Fikret Grabovica, signed a co-financing agreement on Thursday to establish the new Bijela Soba (White Room) memorial space dedicated to the memory of children killed during the war in Sarajevo.

A commemoration of the 1992 killings of Yugoslav troops in Sarajevo was held outside the capital after Serb officials complained of inadequate security and refusals to allow them a permanent memorial.

The 25th anniversary of the killing of dozens JNA soldiers in Dobrovoljacka Street in Sarajevo will not be marked at the site of the massacre.

For the first time, the ceremony will be held in East Sarajevo, the Serb part of the town.

A Sarajevo-based NGO has proposed a memorial to the unsung heroes of the Bosnian war - the women whose hard work and courage helped the city survive the 1992-95 siege.
