The participants of the Vukovar-Srebrenica Peace ultramarathon, who ran a distance of 227 kilometres in the past four days to pay tribute to the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica, arrived at Potocari on Wednesday. The five participants who went from Vukovar were joined by a group from Tuzla and Banovici.

The ultramarathon has been held since 2012, from July 6 to 10, in which marathon runners run 227 km in 5 stages from Vukovar (Ovcar) through Vinkovci, Brcko, Janja and Zvornik to Srebrenica (Potocari), and this year the Ultramarathon was run by 5 marathoners: Drazen Cucic, Miroslav Dudic – Lovric, Boban Pantovic, Mirsad Softic and Dusko Strbac. In addition to the marathoners, other runners traditionally join the ultramarathon on certain sections to support the project and thus pay tribute to the victims.

Given that the Council of the Bosniak National Minority of the City of Zagreb had the support of the City of Zagreb in the implementation of the project all these years, the organizers and participants of the ultramarathon, as in previous years, left Zagreb for Vukovar in front of the City Administration of the City of Zagreb, where they were received by the Deputy Mayor of the City of Zagreb, Luka Korlaet immediately before departure for Vukovar.
