GOLUBOVCI -- Officials on Saturday inaugurated a cemetery for German soldiers killed in Montenegro during World War II, hailing it as an act of reconciliation important for the future.
A ceremony outside Montenegro's capital, Podgorica, included a memorial service for 64 German soldiers already buried at the cemetery. Hundreds more are expected to be laid to rest in the coming months.
"We are standing by the freshly dug graves of 64 German soldiers who died in a war ... that ended more than 70 years ago," said Daniela Schily, from Germany's War Graves Commission. "It ... illustrates the past never simply goes away."
