We passed 800 earlier than expected today with the usual selection of messages and statements of support from all over the world.

This one (number 803 according to my rough count) from Damir in Canada is typical of the views of many:

This memorial should have been opened a long time ago. Unfortunately the local government, and the government of RS in general has obstructed this idea. I hope that Mittal Steel together with the support form the international community, Camp prisoners organizations, and other government and non-government organizations will be able to see this project through. The world, and more importantly the local communities of Omarska and Prijedor, need to recognize and be reminded of what happened (what they did) in Omarska. The victims deserve to be remembered and respected.

I hope that Mittal Steel will now feel they have the support needed to implement the project correctly and then get on with the business of re-vitalising Bosnian industry.
