Thus, in 2016, UDIK presented the Central Register of Monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which contains data on more than 2,100 memorials, while in 2017 UDIK's team mapped over 1,200 memorials in the Republic of Croatia. This booklet provides a brief overview of developments on the issue of memorialization and the basic findings of UDIK's research on monuments in both countries.

Keywords: Monuments dedicated to the civil victims of war; Monuments to members of military units; Municipal Sarajevo Centar; War in Bosnia and Herzegovina; 1992-1995; Genocide; memorial plaques in local communities;

There are more memorials dedicated to fallen fighters than to civilians. Thus, of the total number of memorials, 17 are dedicated to civilian victims of the war, and 25 were built as an act of honoring fallen members of military units, most often members of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBIH), but also the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP), and members of foreign military units.

Considering that education is important for the future of young generations, during 2017 UDIK worked on the handbook From Yugoslavia to Dayton – Monuments and the culture of memory through the influence of socio-political systems. The aim of this handbook is to contribute to building a culture of memory of the population on the war events of the nineties and to the prevention of unplanned and massive construction of monuments through education about the monuments to the victims of war that were created during that time period and after it. Five experts from the fields of history, security and peace studies, political science and communication sciences participated in the creation of this handbook, namely: Edin Radušić and Amir Duranović – Faculty of Philosophy, University of Sarajevo, Nerzuk Ćurak – Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Sarajevo, Amra Čusto – Cantonal Institute for the Protection of Cultural, Historical and Natural Heritage Sarajevo and Edvin Kanka Ćudić – UDIK Sarajevo. Attached to this manual is work material intended, as well as the entire manual, for all those who work with students in order to use this handbook and use specific examples to help their students better understand the monuments and the culture of memory in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond.

Keywords: Republika Srpska Government; Report on Srebrenica; Genocide in Srebrenica; War events in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Serbian aggressor; 1992-1995; Potočari;

In 2004, the Republika Srpska Government officially adopted the Report of the Commission for the Investigation of the Events in and around Srebrenica between 10th and 19th July 1995 which had officially acknowledged the involvement of Republika Srpska military and police forces in the July 1995 events in Srebrenica. The Report states, among other things, that “several thousand Bosniaks were liquidated in Srebrenica in a few days in July 1995, in a manner that represents serious violations of international humanitarian law, and that the perpetrator, among other things, took measures to conceal the crime by moving the bodies”. In August 2018, at a special session, the Republika Srpska Government repealed the 2004 Report on Srebrenica.

About 1,500 surviving Jews returned to Sarajevo after the war. The largest number of survivors are participants of the National Liberation War, while a smaller number met their freedom in camps. The publication “Sarajevo: Remembrance of Holocaust Victims” documents the names of fallen fighters, citizens of Sarajevo in the National Liberation War, fallen fighters for the liberation of Sarajevo and victims of fascist terror.
