After the ceremony of renaming the Airport, on October 19 the Sarajevo “Liberation Square†will be promoted to the “Liberation Square of Alija Izetbegovicâ€, which will be followed by a commemorative academy, which should be addressed by the member of wartime BiH Presidency Tatjana Ljujic-Mijatovic.
According to Tihic, the Organizational Board has unanimously issued all decisions on marking the second anniversary of death of Alija Izetbegovic.
Regarding the change of the Airport name, Tihic said that all affairs have already been completed, including the change of name in the court registry.
According to him, the decision to add the name of Alija Izetbegovic to the Liberation Square in Sarajevo was issued because the memory of liberation from fascism is complementary with the image of Alija Izetbegovic.
Additionally, the preparations for marking this anniversary are in progress in the other towns across BiH.
