They will remain forever in our memories and hearts because they gave their lives for the better society,” Halilovic said. “Through their personal example, they showed just how difficult, dangerous and risky this job really is.”

Davor Vujinovic, born 1972, was buried at the Sveti Josip cemetery in Sarajevo, and Adis Sehovic, born 1975, at the Buca Potok neighbourhood cemetery.
