I did not see Obraz or other nationalist groups staging a counter-protest at last year's vigil; but that was before the arrest of Karadzic. I wonder if that provoked this resurgence, or if they were just lying low last year? Thank you for posting this video, Simran.

I am sure it must have been scary to be in the middle of such a contested commemoration. Remembering this tragedy is highly controversial given that it represents so much of the hate and primordialist beliefs of the nationalist Serb viewpoint. To remember the dead is, in their mindset, an anathema. I applaud your efforts with WIB to keep the memories of the deceased alive and to fight for their justice. Stay safe! Laurie Hi Simran,
