In the very centre of Brčko, at Youth Square, there is a monument dedicated to the shahid and fallen combatants of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH), who gave their lives during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This monument represents a lasting remembrance of soldiers of Bosniak ethnic background from the area of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The construction of the monument began on 16 May 2010 and was completed on 17 May 2012. The idea and realisation came from the Citizens’ Association “Da se ne zaboravi” (“Never to Be Forgotten”), which, with the consent of the Management Board and in accordance with the Law on Monuments and Symbols of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina, determined its location and purpose. The funds for construction were provided from the budget of Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with symbolic contributions from citizens through voluntary donations.

The author of the monument is Adnan Begović, a graduate civil engineer. Through its form and symbolism, it represents more than a simple memorial – it carries a strong message of identity, remembrance and gratitude.

The conceptual interpretation of the monument is based on symbols of statehood and resilience.

The central element is the motif of the Bosnian lily. The five massive panels that make up the monument represent the five combat battalions and are designed in such a way that they “have a face on all sides.”
