History

The idea was to rehabilitate an old Austro-Hungarian fortress by combining the work of Vladimir Dobrović as designer, Alija Kučukalić as sculptor, and Aleksandar Maltarić as landscaper. Construction began in April 1980 and was finished in November 1981. The Memorial Park was opened on November 25, 1981,[1] the "Day of Statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina" in SR Bosnia & Herzegovina commemorationg the date that ZAVNOBIH held their first meeting in 1943.[1]

In 1996, the park was systematically destroyed by withdrawing VRS forces after the signing of the Dayton Agreement.[2]

In 2005, the park was declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3]
