They rise up like the shahids who gave their lives for the construction of Bosanska Krupa and our entire homeland Bosnia and Herzegovina. The symbolism indicates that our shahids will have eternal life." Direct quotation from questionnaire. Source: E. Hadžifejzagić, Municipal Organisation of families of shahids and fallen fighters
