Are There Any Inappropriate Monuments in the Brod- Posavina County?

There are monuments in the Brod-Posavina County that commemorate the events, battles and victims of World War II. Few memorial sites from this period are protected as cultural heritage because of their memorial importance. The reasons for their fading include the lack of formal protection, undefined criteria for objective evaluation, lack of care and rejection of symbols of the former political system. For the last 20 years, their memorial and aesthetic value were questioned and almost always denied, without professional criteria, depending on current political climate. Monuments that act as reminders of that period are still an undesirable phenomenon in public space. The time for re-evaluation, protection and conservation of this segment of our heritage is yet to come. In that process, the role of professional community is irreplaceable.
