At all meetings one spoke about the improvement of the marking of the Jasenovac Memorial Day in New York City, which have last for eleven years.

Also one spoke on the improvement of the research on suffering in the Second World War on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, since in our region there is neither competent academic programme, nor all the required archives and archive materials are available. So it is advisable that the great institutions cooperate among themselves not only in the region but beyond as well.

At these meetings also Mrs. Ivana Bartulovic from the Belgrade Open School participated, as the associate of the Committee for Jasenovac.

During the visit to the United States, Bishop of Lipljan had a support from the Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Republic of Serbia, the Mission at the UN and the General Consulate in New York City.
