Bosnia and Herzegovina: The Quest for Change
The March of Peace
For the third time, the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, along with his wife Mirzeta, walked the mountainous road between Nezuk and Srebrenica. It was along that road in July of 1995, that over 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were massacred by Serbian troops during the Bosnian War. For 17 years, thousands have gathered each year from around the world to walk the “road of death”, and to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. I recently spoke with Mirsad as he spoke of the long and grueling walk of nearly 62 miles and the stories of those who once again have touched his heart and soul.
