The city of Dubrovnik held a commemoration on Daksa island and a Mass at the Church of the Male braće to remember citizens killed on the island in October 1944. During the morning prayer at the memorial on Daksa, fra Marko Nedić led the service.

Following the prayer, representatives from city and county authorities and various associations laid wreaths and flowers and lit candles. The victims included the former mayor of Dubrovnik, Dr. Niko Koprivica, whose remains are buried at the Boninovo city cemetery.
fra Tomislav Šanko celebrated the evening Mass at the Church of the Male braće. He described the victims as casualties of a totalitarian ideology.
