Centre for nonviolent action
On the thirtieth anniversary of the abduction and killing of 17 civilians from Sjeverin near Priboj, a funeral service was held and a commemoration in memory of the victims. The commemoration was attended also by peace activists and war veterans from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.
Many topics and questions discussed at the training are taboos in our societies, they are not spoken about, not even in the most intimate circles
The 18th action to mark unmarked sites of suffering (ONMS) was carried out in February 2022 in the Brčko District of BiH
Members of the Centre for Nonviolent Action Sarajevo-Belgrade attended the commemoration for people killed in Skelani, a local community within the Srebrenica Municipality. In Skelani and other surrounding villages, 34 Serb civilians and 35 members of the Republika Srpska Army were killed on 16 January 1993.
Our 17th action of marking unmarked sites of suffering is complete. In this action, we visited unmarked sites of suffering in the area of Trnovo, Mount Igman and Bugojno
Will there be war again? For the past two months, this is the question on everyone’s lips in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It was 29 years ago, as the Serb military and paramilitary forces were retreating from Mostar, that 114 Bosniak and Croat civilians were taken from their homes and killed at two locations near Mostar – Uborak and Sutina
According to the memories of the survivors, the 15 of them were outside that day, 10 June 1993, in the Podgradina neighbourhood when around 8:45 pm a shell interrupted their play. Five children were killed instantly, three died in hospital, and six were wounded.
This time, we visited local communities in eastern Herzegovina and marked sites of detention, killing, abuse and suffering from the past war.
