Everything is authentic as it was then”, emphasized Karić.
Visitors can also see the museum exhibit, documents, projects and one part of the exhibit on the first president of BiH Alija Izetbegović.
”We also have a demonstrative minefield for the visitors, and what is new is that we made new video rooms and we can now receive more than 200 visitors”, emphasized Karić.
