Foreign ambassadors in Bosnia joined local officials on Sunday and honoured the victims of the WWII Jasenovac concentration camp at Donja Gradina site in Bosnia’s north.
“This memorial should help us learn from, not revise, history and we must all resolve to stand together in ensuring such acts are never repeated,” said US Ambassador Eric Nelson who paid respects alongside the ambassadors of Russia, European Union and representatives of international organisations in Bosnia.
