26th Anniversary of Massacre at Kapija in Tuzla marked

With the laying of wreaths and flowers, the 26th anniversary of the massacre at Kapija in Tuzla, the suffering of young people of different nationalities was marked. Additional pain to the families of the victims is caused by the fact that the person convicted of this crime is still not convicted.

The average age of the killed citizens was 21, and the youngest victim was two-and-a-half-year-old Sandro Kalesic. By the decision of the Cantonal Government from 2016, May 25 was declared the Day of Mourning in Tuzla Canton. The parents of the killed, representatives of the city and cantonal authorities and members of the association laid flowers in the Alley of Youth yesterday.

After that, a commemorative gathering was held at the Gate, and at 8:55 p.m., an alarm siren could be heard.

RS Army General Novak Djukic, who was the commander of the Ozren Tactical Group, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the crime at the Tuzla Gate. However, since 2014, he has not responded to the execution of his sentence under the pretext that he is receiving medical treatment in Serbia. Although a warrant has been issued for his arrest, he cannot be extradited to BiH at the moment because he has Serbian citizenship, BHRT writes.
