SREBRENICA, May 25 (FENA) – Twenty-seven victims of the genocide in Srebrenica who will be buried on July 11 this year at the Memorial Center in Potočari have been identified so far, the participants of the third meeting of the Organizing Committee for marking the July 11th, the 23rd anniversary of the genocide against the Bosniaks in the UN safe zone, said today after the meeting.

Given that the Commemorative Center in Tuzla holds identified incomplete remains of another 50 Srebrenica victims, the participants of the meeting appealed to the families of the victims to give their consent to the burial on July 11th of these remains as well.

President of the Association of Mothers of Srebrenica and Žepa Munira Subašić says just two bones belonging to her son’s body were buried.

“I would ask all the mothers who have one or more bones belonging to their children to give their consent to the burial of their loved ones,” Ms. Subašić said.

President of the Organizing Committee, Nermin Alivuković, said that all the activities of the subcommittee were taking place in the planned dynamics.

“We have sent more than a hundred requests for financial aid for the marking, and we have only received an answer of the Sarajevo Canton Government who is ready to finance this year's marking with 60,000 KM. I believe that the decision from the previous years will be repeated by the Council of Ministers with 150,000 KM, as well as certain municipalities in order to bring all the activities that we planned to an end and mark the July 11th with dignity,” Mr. Alivuković told FENA.
