Brussels pays tribute to Srebrenica victims

The commemoration was attended by numerous representatives from the diplomatic and cultural spheres, including Martin Kotthaus, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Belgium; Max Valstar, Deputy Head of Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Belgium; as well as representatives of the Austrian Cultural Forum at the Embassy of the Republic of Austria in Belgium. The gathering was also supported by Members of the European Parliament from the European People’s Party and the Greens.

As part of the program, the exhibition “Srebrenica: 11 Lessons for the Future” by Dr. Hikmet Karcic was displayed, highlighting the universal messages of the Srebrenica tragedy and the importance of its lasting remembrance.

A special contribution to the evening was the unique artistic segment produced by the cultural association Art Alive. Artists Aldina Topcagic, Margareta Klobucar, and Mersiha Teskeredzic performed a moving piece “8372 Seconds”, which included Srebrenica Inferno, leaving a strong impression on those present.

Participants at the event paid tribute to the victims with a moment of silence, while speakers emphasized the responsibility of the international community and the importance of permanent education about the Srebrenica genocide.

“Special thanks were extended to Elma Orucevic for her coordination and contribution to organizing this important event,” stated the Art Alive Association.
