Inclusive memorialization is crucial for the future of the Western Balkans
20-11-2020For the future of the Western Balkans it is important that atrocities committed during the wars of the 90s are jointly acknowledged and remembered.

This is the main conclusion of a report by Peace organization PAX, mapping a number of Inclusive Memory Initiatives in the Western Balkans.
