Reopened tender for war rape victims' monument in BiH

The article discusses the delay in opening a memorial monument dedicated to victims of wartime sexual violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), specifically at the former 'Kon-Tiki' camp.

Director Ahmed Kulanić expressed hope that the monument will eventually open, emphasizing the importance of honoring the victims and ensuring their families are satisfied with the design. Midheta Kaloper, president of the 'Foča 92-95' association, noted the significance of having such a monument in the 'Kon-Tiki' site, where women were also subjected to sexual abuse during the war. She highlighted the challenges of obtaining public funding and the need for societal awareness. The monument is expected to open in September.
