The pain that Murino suffered is still present today, and it is our duty not to forget that pain, but to turn it into a permanent warning, said Minister of Defense Dragan Krapović, on the occasion of the anniversary of the NATO bombing of Murino in 1999, in which six civilians, including three children, lost their lives.
In a statement, he stressed the importance of preserving the memory of this tragedy.
"By marking this sad date, we remember the innocent victims whose lives were cut short. The pain that Murino suffered then is still present today, and it is our duty not to forget that pain, but to turn it into a lasting reminder," said Krapović.
He emphasized that the suffering of civilians, especially children, obliges society to foster the values of peace and mutual respect, as well as to responsibly approach the preservation of historical memory.
"The memory of Murino is not only a reminder of the past, but also an obligation towards the future. As the Minister of Defense, but also as a citizen, I feel a duty to advocate for a society in which understanding, stability and peace will be above all," said Krapović.
He concluded that only through cultivating a culture of memory and truth can society build a safer and more just future for all citizens.
