Ljepota pobjede .... Milja Marin, djevojačko Toroman, jugoslovenska partizanka, bolničarka u 11. kozaračkoj brigadi, poznata po svom portretu „Kozarčanka“ koji je napravio Žorž Skrigin. Fotografija je nastala u sred borbi u Knežpolju 1943. godine.
Srećan Dan pobjede nad fašizmom
The #ICRC organized a workshop for 36 #border police officers from #BosniaAndHerzegovina and #Croatia, addressing challenges in managing increased #migration flows and interactions with vulnerable migrants. A great opportunity to enhance cooperation and exchange experiences!
@merima_prguda Svaka iole komplikovanija situacija se svodi na crno-bijelu sliku i traži se biranje strane. Vrijeđaju inteligenciju ljudima. U geopolitici je Bush započeo, a svijet je nastavio. 20 godina poslije se u Iraku vide posljedice takvog pristupa. https://t.co/UmWEJKdBpd
Days turn into weeks.
Weeks into months.
Months into years.
For every loved one missing, there are countless people missing them.
They deserve to know.
End of the highly productive ICRC and @BIRN_BiH workshop for #journalists and #editors of daily media in BiH, on reporting about #missing persons.
Conclusions collected in the past three days will be integrated into "Guidelines on #media reporting about missing persons."
BIRN BiH i @ICRC_BiH-u pridružili su se novinari iz cijele zemlje na radionici "Zajednički doprinos bh. medija pronalasku nestalih osoba" s ciljem zajedničkog unapređenja postojećih standarda medijskog istraživanja i izvještavanja o nestalim osobama.
More than 7.600 people are still missing from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their families have the right to know what happened to their loved ones!

“When acting according to the principles of neutrality and independence, humanitarian organizations can then deliver on the two other principles of humanitarian action: humanity and impartiality.” https://t.co/Ok1rTVlaML
Why is our neutrality essential?
It helps us:
✅ Visit detainees
✅ Reunite families
✅ Reach hospitals
✅ Deliver humanitarian aid
✅ Connect families through our Red Cross Messages
Neutrality means we take action, but never take sides.
