Following our text about the Memorial complex the city mayor Ljubiša Ćosić held a press conference, he neither denied anything nor answered our questions

After we have published the text on non-transparent spending of budget funds, conflict of interest and good cooperation between the authorities and a private company during the construction of the Memorial complex to the fallen Serb civilians, the mayor of the City of Istočno Sarajevo, Ljubiša Ćosić, held a press conference where he spoke about the importance of building monuments and the culture of remembrance without denying a single fact from our text.

While the City of Istočno Sarajevo, the Veterans’ Organization INS and the company “UNIOTEC” cooperate well, there is still no memorial complex for the fallen Serb civilians

How the authorities in the City of Istočno Sarajevo treat the fallen Serb civilians is best shown by the fact that the deadline for the completion of the memorial complex was missed, and the City, in order to eliminate the competition, transferred the money to the Municipal Veterans’ Organization, which chose a company close to the authorities as the contractor. The works are supervised by the brother of the president of the veterans’ organization. Nobody cares about whether the construction of the memorial complex will destroy the park.
