For almost two years, the inhabitants of Batajnica didn’t know that they lived so close to these secret mass graves, while the training center on the site continues to function to this day.
Another family now lives in the place where the Zec family used to live but in 2014 YIHR Croatia requested that the Zec family name be given to a park in the city. The project has still not been implemented.
“My personal feeling is that most citizens would have nothing against this monument, but they are not prepared to say it publicly.”
