"With deep reverence, we remember the innocent victims and the fact that innocent people were abducted and killed solely because of their nationality. This is a narrative that has caused much harm to Bosniaks in this region for centuries."

The culture of remembrance and dealing with the past are fundamental steps in overcoming the difficult past and building a better future for generations to come, the Bosniak Party (BS) announced on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the kidnapping and murder of 20 passengers from the "Lovćen 671" train at the Štrpci station, committed by members of the so-called Army of Republika Srpska.

The BS said that they remember the innocent victims with deep respect, emphasizing that the passengers were kidnapped and killed solely because of their nationality.

"A culture of remembrance and dealing with the past are essential steps in overcoming a difficult past and building a better future for generations to come," the statement said.

The party recalled that last year's amendments to the law in the social welfare sector, led by BS cadre Vice President Damir Gutić, which include veteran and disability protection, recognized civil war victims and their families for the first time.

It is stated that these are changes that, as they said, have enabled justice to be at least partially served for the victims and their families.

BS, as they announced, will continue to influence, through institutional mechanisms, the clarification of the circumstances under which war crimes occurred on the territory of Montenegro.

The BS called on the prosecution and judiciary to move the issue of war crimes away from the deadlock, stating that only by truly confronting the past can a healthy future be built.
