Metropolitan Archbishop of Vrhbosna and Apostolic Administrator of the Military Ordinariate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Msgr. Tomo Vukšić sent a message in which he expressed his sincere condolences to all those who lost their loved ones on the occasion of commemorating the 28th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica.
“On the occasion of commemorating the 28th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, I extend my sincerest condolences to all those bereaved by the loss of their family members and friends. Each victim was someone’s father or mother, brother or sister, son or daughter, wife or husband, fiancé, friend or acquaintance. That is why their pain is deep. For the rest of us, all victims are our brothers and sisters because we have the same Creator, and we sincerely and fraternally sympathize with everyone,” said Msgr. Vukšić.
He also expressed his “closeness to the families of those whose remains will be buried this year, after they were exhumed earlier from mass graves, and their identification could not be completed until now”.
“The graves of victims are the greatest preachers of peace! And they call for every life to be respected and preserved. We believe this is their most important message and lesson to all living beings. And we ask our Lord, the merciful Creator and the only Lord of life, to reward all the deceased with eternal life and to give hope to the living out of this sadness,” reads the message of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Vrhbosna, Msgr. Tomo Vukšić on the occasion of the commemoration of the 28th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, KTA reported.
