On June 4, 1942, the captured fighters were taken to the edge of the village, where they were shot and thrown into a lime pit on the orders of NG. These were young men, mostly workers and students, all members of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) and the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ), namely: Alikalfi\u0107 Ibro Duje<\/a>, a worker from Mostar, fighter D\u017eafebegovi\u0107, Had\u017eiomerovi\u0107 Muhamed<\/a>, a worker from Mostar, Kosjerina Branko<\/a>, an official from Mostar, Kljako Omer<\/a>, a worker from Mostar, Skiki\u0107 Salem, a worker from Mostar, Stipi\u0107 Tomo, a worker from Mostar, \u0160ari\u0107 Hido<\/a>, a student from Mostar, Alija<\/em> \u0160ehovi\u0107, a worker from Mostar, and Kreso Mustafa<\/a>, a worker from Mostar.

He offered for Commander Ranko Ivan\u010devi\u0107 of the gendarmerie barracks to send about ten men to take custody of the prisoners and hand them over to the Italians in Nevesinje. Since the villagers rejected this proposal, JG returned to Drami\u0161evo. Upon his return to the village, a Chetnik council was convened under the leadership of NG, who decided to kill the disarmed fighters. Under the cover of darkness, the Chetniks took the prisoners, led them to the outskirts of the village, and executed them.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ALIJA SALEM SKIKI\u0106, son of AVDIJA, born on October 12 1922 in Mostar, taylor by trade.

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims.

Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
