ISTOČNA ILIDŽA, AUGUST 4 /SRNA/ - Serb member of the BiH Presidency Željka Cvijanović laid a wreath in front of the Memorial Chapel for fallen soldiers from the area of Istočna Ilidža.

As part of the "August 4 - Lest We Forget" event, wreaths were also laid by the families of fallen soldiers, Republika Srpska National Assembly members, representatives of the Istočna Ilidža municipality, associations formed after the Defensive-Patriotic War, as well as representatives in BiH joint institutions.

Earlier, a liturgy and memorial service were held at the Church of the Holy Hieromartyr Peter of Dabar-Bosnia in Vojkovići for fallen soldiers from the area of Istočna Ilidža.
