EXHIBITION ON THE MURDERED BOY SLOBODAN STOJANOVIĆ TO OPEN IN MOSCOW

MOSCOW, NOVEMBER 12 /SRNA/ - An exhibition dedicated to the murdered boy Slobodan Stojanović, who was canonised in 2022, will be presented in Moscow on November 27 as part of cooperation between the Republika Srpska Representative Office in Russia and the Library of Foreign Literature, the Ministry of European Integration and International Cooperation told SRNA.

The exhibition, titled The Heavenly Boy and His Dog, is dedicated to the picture book of the same name by Republika Srpska artist Mirna Jovanović, which tells the story of the life and spiritual feat of young Slobodan Stojanović.

His fate bears witness to the tragedy of war, but also serves as a reminder of the purity of a child's soul, selflessness, and the ability to love despite everything, the Ministry said.

The exhibition will be open to visitors from November 16 to 30, while its official presentation is scheduled for November 27 at the Center for Slavic Cultures of the Library of Foreign Literature in Moscow.

Twelve-year-old Serbian boy Slobodan Stojanović, from Donja Kamenica in the Zvornik municipality, was brutally murdered in the summer of 1992 in the Bajrići–Novo Selo settlement. The Court of BiH sentenced Elfeta Veseli, a member of the so-called Army of BiH, to 13 years in prison for the crime.
