The message ‘Glory to Ukraine’ (Slava Ukrajini) can be seen above the passage leading to Sarajevo’s Chamber Theater 55 (Kamerni teatar 55), as an expression of support to the Ukrainian people and their President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“This represents our support for the Ukrainian people and our colleague Volodymyr Zelensky,” said renowned Bosnian actor and director of the theatre, Emir Hadzihafizbegovic.

Theatre actors also expressed their support.

“This is the support of all our employees for the Ukrainian people, who are going through the same tyranny of fascism that Bosnia and Herzegovina and its capital Sarajevo went through – 11,000 civilians killed in Sarajevo, including 1,600 children under the age of 14,” they said, adding that their painful memories of that war are now returning.

“This is also a message to our colleague – actor Zelenskyy, as well as to the great athlete Klitschko, and all of the Ukrainian people. We are with you in our prayers and thoughts,” they said.
