33 years have passed since the death of the heroes in white from Gorazde, Dr. Dušanke Vujasić and others. Hasan Imamović, who lost his life from the same shell, performing his honorable calling in the most difficult moments for Goražde.
On the occasion of the anniversary of their death, the mayor of Goražda, Ernest Imamović, and the chairman of the City Council, Dženis Ćulov, laid flowers and paid tribute to their sacrifice and selfless dedication.
They said that the names of these heroes in white today carry not only the memory of the tragedy, but also deep respect for humanity, courage and professional ethics that did not give in even in the face of war. While many were looking for salvation, they stayed with the wounded, with the sick, with the people who needed them the most.
As a sign of lasting memory, on Thursday, April 30 at 11 a.m., a ceremonial unveiling of the plaque with the name of the street dr. Dušanke Vujasić, as a permanent reminder that the city remembers those who gave it the most.
On this occasion, in addition to Dušanka’s family from Serbia and Croatia, as well as other dignitaries, journalist, publicist and columnist Dragan Bursać will be staying in the city on the Drina, who in his texts writes about people and fates that marked the life of dr. Dušanka Vujasić.
Tomorrow, the “Evening with Dragan Bursać” will be held at the Culture Center, which will be another opportunity to preserve the memories of people who left an indelible mark in history through literature and public conversation.
On March 13, the Goražde City Council adopted a decision to name the street dr. Dušanka Vujasić, a doctor of dentistry who, during the most difficult days of the war, showed exceptional courage and humanity, sharing her fate with the citizens of Goražde.
dr. Dušanka Vujasić, born in 1957 in Belgrade, moved to Goražde in the early eighties after her marriage and soon got a job at the Health Center as a dentist where she quickly gained the trust and respect of the patients. When the first shells started falling on Goražde in May 1992, she decided to stay at the Health Center where she worked and helped the citizens. It was easier for the woman from Belgrade to leave, but she was guided by the honorable principles of her medical calling and a sense of responsibility towards the people who needed her.
During the siege of the city, when health institutions worked in extremely difficult conditions, Vujasić, in addition to her basic job as a dentist, helped take care of the wounded and supported patients and colleagues in the hospital.
She died on April 27, 1993, when a shell hit the Health Center building, together with her colleague, dentist Hasan Imamović. She was six months pregnant at the time of her death. Their names, along with other colleagues, are carved on the memorial plaque at the Goražde Cantonal Hospital.
