Monument changes:

During the 2000s, citizens associations independently organised activities to mark the craters of "Sarajevo Roses" and repair those already marked. Current activities to replace the initial resin filling for the craters are run by the Sarajevo Canton Fund for the Protection and Maintenance of Shahid and Fallen Fighter Cemeteries, Memorial Centres and Memorials for Genocide Victims.

Other information: There is no official data on the number of "Sarajevo Roses". The Cantonal Institute for the Protection of Cultural, Historical and Natural Heritage of Sarajevo is responsible for their maintenance, however, some are destroyed during road works, while some "roses" are marked by citizens of their own initiative.
