DONJA GRADINA, April 15 (FENA) – The U.S. Ambassador to BiH Maureen Cormack stated today that Donja Gradina is not a place where one should think about who will shake whose hand.

Entity President Milorad Dodik refused to shake Cormack’s hand at this place last year and the U.S. Ambassador to BiH emphasized today that she hopes that tragedies such as the one in Doja Gradina “will not be used for political opportunism”.

“I will shake hand with anyone who wants to, but I come to these events to honor the victims,” she emphasized.

Cormack said this is her fourth visit to Donja Gradina to honor the victims and the only reason is to honor the victims, survivors and their families.

“This concentration camp reminds us of atrocities committed during the World War II and fascism that caused all of that. I hope that common sense of humanity will always bring us together to honor the victims,” said the U.S. Ambassador to BiH.

Officials of RS, FBiH and Serbia, as well as international representatives in BiH gathered at Donja Gradina Memorial today to mark the Remembrance Day of victims of crimes in concentration camp Jasenovac and its biggest crime site Donja Gradina.

Wreath laying ceremony was attended by Head of the EU Delegation to BiH/Special Representative Ambassador Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, the U.S. Ambassador to BiH Maureen Cormack, Ambassador of Russian Federation to BiH Petr Ivantsov, president of the National Assembly of Serbia Maja Gojković, Serbian Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin, entity president Milorad Dodik and other political and religious representatives.
