Belgrade/Banja Luka, 4 August 2023

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke today in Banja Luka with Republika Srpska Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic about the implementation of joint infrastructure projects of Republika Srpska and Serbia, and the emphasis is on overcoming the challenges they face in the implementation projects in the field of energy and traffic infrastructure.

Brnabic and Viskovic signed the Memorandum on the project of building two memorial centres dedicated to the victims of Jasenovac in Donja Gradina and Belgrade.

In the Memorandum, the determination is expressed that in order to foster a culture of remembrance of the victims of the Ustasha genocide (under the auspices of the Nazi Independent State of Croatia), the highlight of which is the Jasenovac concentration camp system, two memorial centres will be built, namely in Donja Gradina, as the place of suffering where the executions were carried out, torture and abuse, and in Belgrade, as the capital of the Republic of Serbia.

The signatories of the Memorandum undertake to ensure the conditions for the centres to be built in accordance with the highest standards and to be worthy of the memory of the victims of Jasenovac.

Also, the signatories of the aforementioned document agree that the monument in Donja Gradina and the monument in Belgrade will have the same appearance.

The signing of the Memorandum was preceded by a meeting of the Council for Cooperation between Serbia and Republika Srpska.
