SARAJEVO, May 22 (FENA) - An exhibition of photographs "Prijedor Camps and Mass Graves" was opened today within the memorial program "Prijedor '92 – Do not to forget" at the Tunnel D-B Memorial Complex in Sarajevo.

Visitors could see dozens of photographs, posters and newspaper clippings showing the extent of the crimes committed in Prijedor in 1992, which is marked as "White Ribbon Day".

President of the Regional Federation of Associations of Former Camp Prisoners of the Banja Luka Region and former prisoner of Omarska, Manjača and Trnopolje Mirsad Duratović pointed out that on this day, 26 years ago, an attack on the non-Serb population in the Banja Luka municipality started.

He emphasized that the exhibition had already been presented in Munich, Bonn, Zagreb, Varaždin and many other cities and that now it was finally Sarajevo’s turn.

“The citizens of BiH, especially the capital, should be informed about the history of the aggression that was happening on every inch of this country, and therefore we decided to bring a part of Prijedor to Sarajevo as well,” he said.

He pointed out that there were many untold stories such as Prijedor and that the exhibition was a continuation of cooperation between the Federation of Associations and the Memorial Fund of Sarajevo.

The representative of the Memorial Fund of Sarajevo, Irfan Gazdić, explained that in addition to the exhibition, visitors could see video projections and art installations in order to partially experience what was happening in Prijedor in 1992.

He emphasized that the exhibition would be open until May 31, when the White Ribbon Day is marked.

Vice-President of the Federation of BiH Melika Mahmutbegović believes that Prijedor is part of the 'universal Bosnian tragedy' that took place in 1992.

Vice-President of the Federation of BiH Milan Dunović said that the Prijedor story was significant for entire Europe and that it was sad that there isn’t much talk about these topics in BiH anymore.
