The Sports Association “Lisičići” Konjic is organizing the cultural and sports event “Lisičići 2025,” which will include the 29th “Suljo and Mujo” swimming meet this weekend, held in memory of martyrs and fallen soldiers. On Saturday, July 19, at 7:30 PM, athletic races will be held for children up to 7 years old (born in 2018 and younger) and up to 10 years old (born in 2017, 2016, and 2015). Following the races, at 8:30 PM, Normala Band from Jablanica will perform a concert on the beach in Lisičići.
The main event of the manifestation—the swimming meet—will be held on Sunday, July 20, starting at 11:00 AM. This year, due to the lowered water level of Jablanica Lake, competitors will only participate in the 1,000-meter swimming marathon, said Mensur Duraković, Secretary of the “Lisičići” Sports Association Konjic.
“This year, we have a modified competition program due to the low water level of Jablanica Lake. We will only have distance swimming, specifically a swimming marathon in two categories. The first is for competitors aged 10 to 14, and the second for those over 14 years old. We are expecting swimming clubs from Sarajevo, Tuzla, Lukavac, Zenica, Mostar, and Novi Sad, and possibly others from the region, since we announce this competition on a regional platform dedicated to all swimming events in the Balkans. We’re also visited by swimming enthusiasts who are not active competitors but come to spend the day at Jablanica Lake,” said Duraković.
The “Suljo and Mujo” swimming meet is named in honor of two fallen soldiers, Izudin Sarajlić–Suljo and Mustafa Borić–Mujo. Through events like this, the organizers and the residents of Lisičići strive to preserve the memory of their brave fight, as well as the memory of all martyrs and soldiers who gave their lives in defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina and their homeland, said Hamdo Lepara, Vice President of the “Lisičići” Sports Association Konjic.
“This is just a small gesture we can offer them, but sometimes small things in life mean a lot. They are our pride, and to the younger generations, we must pass on the meaning of loving and defending Bosnia and Herzegovina,” said Lepara.
The “Lisičići” Sports Association Konjic notes that registration for the swimming meet is open until July 17 at 8:00 PM. For more information, contact: Mensur Duraković: +387 61 271 900 Ferid Sarajlić: +387 61 371 869
