Mayor of the Sarajevo Alija Behmen stood with officials, schoolchildren and tearful friends and parents of the dead to remember them on Europe’s Victory Day a national holiday which commemorates the end of World War II in 1945. 

"May 9 is an appropriate day to remember the children, as the deaths prove that nationalism and fascism were still very much alive in Europe in 1995, We lived with the illusion (they were not),” said the Mayor Alija Behmen.
