The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, Mr Nedeljko Čubrilović, said that the Memorial Zone Donja Gradina is a unique institution in the Republic of Srpska, which deserves a special support of the Government and the institutions in its efforts to contribute to spreading the truth about the sufferings at this place of execution.

“This place of execution is not remembered through history at this region where there are hundreds of thousands of graves, and the area is relatively neglected. I’m really satisfied that this convocation of the National Assembly managed to pass the Declaration of the genocide over the Serbs at this region”, said Mr Čubrilović, who visited the Memorial Zone Donja Gradina. He reminded that there was passed a decision about the construction of the Memorial Centre Donja Gradina and strengthening the Memorial Zone at every aspect – personnel and financial, so that all the people interested in the truth could come to this place.

The Director of the Memorial Zone, Ms Tanja Tuleković said that at the today’s meeting, where the president of the Comitee for Donja Gradina of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska Mr Darko Banjac was also present, there were discussions about future activities after the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska adopted the preliminary urbanistic design of the Memorial Centre Donja Gradina.

“Tender documentation for choosing the main design project is being prepared. We also discussed the needs of the Institution, from personnel increasings, spreadings and educations to the possibilities of gathering documentations from similar institutions from the Republic of Srpska and Serbia”, said Ms Tuleković.
