A Peace March was held in the city of Guildford and thus the week of remembrance for the Srebrenica genocide officially began on the Island, with hundreds of commemorations planned across the UK.
The peace march was held on the idea Mujo Delić’s family and his friends from Guildford in memory of the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica committed by members of the RS army and police. A large number of those present greeted Mujo Delić who spoke about his experience of losing his comrades, family and everyone he knew and the way they survived the most severe injuries. Mujo thanked those present for their participation and everyone who helped organize the Peace March, especially Zijad Fajković.
As part of the Peace March, a history lesson was held, where speakers presented their experiences during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ferid Kevrić spoke about his experiences as a JNA officer who was in Bijeljina and how, as a Muslim, he experienced the way non-Serbs were removed from service. He also described how he informed his ex-wife that the Serbs were planning to attack Janja and execute all the Muslims and to inform JUTEL, which she did. Remzudin Alilhodžić spoke about how, as a sixteen-year-old boy, he survived the genocide, losing family members and experiencing the fear that still haunts him today. Sabit Jakupović, originally from Kozarac, survived two ligures, Manjač and Omarska. He described the fear, pain, and injuries that led him to be brought to England as a medical evacuee.
Finally, Zaim Pašić, president of the BH UK Network and veteran of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, addressed the audience. Zaim is on behalf of the BH UK Network, a community of Bosnian associations in Great Britain. supported the Peace March and said that he would propose that it be included in the Network’s work plan. He also described the difficulties of survival for the people of Sarajevo during the aggression. He thanked the organizer and added that he was glad to see so many young people socializing and supporting each other, and to help Bosnia and Herzegovina survive.
Thanks largely to Remembering Srebrenica, the United Kingdom is the only country outside Bosnia and Herzegovina to mark the anniversary of the Bosnian genocide at a national level. The charity, which has received cross-party support in the British Parliament, as well as the support of HM King Charles III, is responsible for organising the largest number of commemorative activities in the world. It does this with the support of the Bosnian community on the Island through its eight English regional committees and three national committees in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 1,500 activists who pay tribute to the victims and survivors of the genocide and educate people about the dangers of hatred and the importance of building more cohesive communities for all. 
In memory of the genocide committed in Srebrenica in 1995, the United Kingdom will mark the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide with hundreds of events this year, under the theme: “Together We Are One” .
