SARAJEVO, July 1 (FENA) - The citizens' association "Witnesses of their time", this year, despite the coronavirus pandemic, is organizing the ninth Peace March "Sarajevo - Nezuk", a convoy campaign more than 150 kilometers long in memory of several thousand Srebrenica residents who in July 1995 walked the path to find salvation in Tuzla.

One of the organizers of the march, Muhamed Papić, told FENA that only ten participants would take part in the march, which starts on July 3. In previous years, they walked for eight days from Sarajevo to Potočari, while this year in Nezuk they will only see off the convoy of the Peace March "Nezuk - Potočari".

“Due to the increase in the number of infected people with coronavirus in BiH, a decision was made for this year's campaign to pay tribute to the victims of aggression against our country and mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, but in a different way. We are forced to mark this year's campaign symbolically in order to comply with the instructions and decisions of the competent institutions,” Papić explained.

However, he emphasized that the most important thing is that the tradition does not get interrupted and that this year, too, they send the message that no victim will ever and must never be forgotten.

“Our goal is clear and that is for genocide never to happen to anyone again and for no one to suffer like the people of Podrinje did, but also the people of entire BiH,” Papić said.

Members of the association will gather on July 3 in front of the Memorial to the Murdered Children of Sarajevo.

Arrival in Nezuk is planned on the fifth day of the march, July 7, and the next day, July 8, participants will see off a convoy of survivors of the "Nezuk - Potočari" Peace March.
