Grandmother Fata greeted us enthusiastically on the doorstep of her house while seeing off a group from Sarajevo who has also visited her, particularly delighting that young students ziyarat her, who are, as she said, the most expected to fight for Bosnia and Herzegovina and survival of everybody on his own.

After expressed support, pleasant, emotional, and encouraging conversations with grandmother Fata, we went in the direction of the Memorial Center Potocari where we were greeted by very friendly young people who are hosts now, but also eyewitnesses to everything that has happened to Bosniaks in Srebrenica.

On Musala of the cemetery a representative of the host held a short but very emotional history class to the visitors, after which we visited the graves of Bosniaks buried so far and a memorial room.
