A MEANINGFUL GESTURE OF SUPPORT FROM OUR DIRECTOR GENERAL, MR. SINAN AKSU, IN VLASENICA

4/26/2026

Six individuals who lost their lives during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995, in which acts of genocide were committed, were laid to rest at a ceremony held at the Rakita Martyrs’ Cemetery in the city of Vlasenica. Our Director General, Mr. Sinan Aksu, and his accompanying delegation also attended the ceremony.

At the ceremony, where the funeral prayer was led by the Mufti of Tuzla, Mr. Vahid Fazlović, the six individuals were buried with prayers.

MARTYRS COMMEMORATED

During the spring and summer of 1992, approximately 2,500 Bosniaks lost their lives in Vlasenica. To date, 405 individuals have been buried at the Rakita Memorial Center.

For more than twenty years, every April, survivors, families, and relatives gather at the Rakita Martyrs’ Cemetery to commemorate those who lost their lives in the attacks against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
