MEMORIAL OF BRATUNAC

Situated along the Drina River and the Serbian border, the town of Bratunac (population 8,000, 61% Bosnian-Serbs) is home to a memorial park for Yugoslav partisans who died in the Second World War (Spomen-Park Bratunac/Спомен-Парк Братунац). Here stands an impressive 17m-high tubular metal obelisk with a bulge in the center made of transverse pipes. The work was created in 1978 by Serbian sculptor Petar Krstić (1926-1990). Once predominantly Bosnian, Bratunac was the scene of major massacres in 1995.
