{"id":351,"count":2,"description":"Mirza and Mustafa Bali\u0107, the two older brothers of Emir Bali\u0107, legendary diver from the Old Bridge in Mostar, were killed in Jasenovac during World War II. All other family members were active participants in the National Liberation Movement (NOP). The third brother, Husnija Bali\u0107, born in Mostar in 1925, was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and taken to the lead mine in Trep\u010da, from where he escaped and joined the Albanian partisans. He returned to Mostar in 1946 with an officer's rank. Two older sisters of Emir, Mirzija Latifi\u0107 (born Bali\u0107) and Silva Mileti\u0107 (born Bali\u0107), were involved in the resistance movement in Mostar from 1941 to 1943. Their mother, Safija, also aided the illegal activities of the Mostar resistance movement throughout the war. The father, Had\u017ei-Abdulah Bali\u0107, operated the main headquarters for the \"partisan underground\" in Mostar.\r\n\r\nSource and literature: Halilbegovi\u0107, Nihad (2006): Bo\u0161njaci u jasenova\u010dkom logoru, Sarajevo.","link":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/tag\/balic-en\/","name":"The Bali\u0107 brothers","slug":"balic-en","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=351"},{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan?tags=351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
