Serbian. Born in 20/07/1989. Born and raised in Prijedor.

He was  three years old when the  terrible crimes took place and as he said, he was unable to understand the seriousness of the situation and the changes it brought about.

His impressions about the remembrance of the war :

“Our first reaction is to deny it, or to downplay it, or somehow explain it to yourself and to provide some sort of answer for it. I went to an elementary school which at that time, only Serbian students attended. In fact, the entire syllabus was taught from the Serbian perspective, it was hard for me to get out of that. That was the greatest challenge, the lack of information. My parents refused to talk about it. There was nobody I could talk to about it.”

Bosniak. Born in 21/03/1958, in Zecovi (Prijedor) His whole family comes from there.

During the war he was in Germany, until he heard his village had been attacked.

He went to Croatia to a refugee camp in Rijeka. There he found 1 of the 3 family members who survived the massacre: his 17 year old nephew. The boy confirmed the news of the attack.

Fikret took his nephew with him to Germany and returned permanently to Bosnia in 1998.  

Nowadays he works as an independent  entrepreneur with a small food shop.

His impression about the the remembrance of the war :

“My return to Bosnia, especially my return to Prijedor, my pre-war residence, was motivated by my wish to find my relatives’ bodies. From the talks I had with neighbours, I know that most of them know where the bodies are. 99% of them know where the bodies were taken, but none of them want to tell me.”
