DODIK: BROD STREET SHOULD BEAR MILJA ZEČEVIĆ'S NAME

BANJA LUKA, NOVEMBER 10 /SRNA/ – President Milorad Dodik will propose to the Brod municipal authorities that a street be named after Milja Zečević, as a lasting tribute to her life's tragedy, her strength and the dignity with which she carried her heavy cross.

"The name of Milja Zečević should remain permanently inscribed in the collective memory of our people and bear witness to future generations about the suffering of Serb civilians in Sijekovac," Dodik wrote on X. He said he was convinced that a street bearing her name would be a fitting way for Brod to preserve the memory of Milja, her family and all the innocent victims, and a clear message that their names and fates would not be forgotten. Milja Zečević, regarded as a heroine, lost her husband and three sons in the crime against the Serb population of Sijekovac on March 26, 1992. She died on Saturday, November 7, aged 94.
