SARAJEVO, February 5 (FENA) – The 24th anniversary of the shelling and massacre at the Markale market was marked today with a commemorative session at the Sarajevo National Theater, followed by a visit to the market where numerous citizens of Sarajevo and representatives of the authorities laid flowers and paid their respects.

On that day, on February 5, 1994, 68 citizens of Sarajevo were killed by a mortar shell fired from the positions of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), while 144 citizens were wounded.

Minister for Issues of the Veterans and Disabled Veterans of the Defensive-Liberation War, Salko Bukvarević, laid flowers and paid respects on behalf of the FBiH Government.

Mr. Bukvarević told reporters that marking of this date and visit to the sites of massacres of innocent citizens during the aggression against BiH was a permanent obligation.

“A horrible aggression was committed against our homeland, and the aggressor tried to do in all cities what they succeeded in Srebrenica,” Mr. Bukvarević stressed.

He said that thanks to the fighters of BiH, the aggressor could not enter Sarajevo and do what they succeeded in other places.

“They used the long-range artillery to commit atrocities, and this is what we remember today and we are sending a message to never let war nor massacres ever happen to anyone again,” said Mr. Bukvarević.
