<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Masakr nad djecom u Srebrenici dogodio se <a href="http://bs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masakr_nad_djecom_u_Srebrenici" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">12. aprila 1993. u opkoljenoj Srebrenici</span></a> kada su snage Vojske Republike Srpske granatirale osnovnu školu, ranivši 150 ljudi i ubivši najmanje 62 djece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tog dana su predstavnici Vojske Republike Srpske izjavili predstavnicima UNHCR-a da će napasti Srebrenicu u roku od 2 dana ako se Bošnjaci ne predaju i to su i uradili. Istog dana Srbi su napali osnovnu školu uz već spomenuti broj žrtava.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sead Bekrić, jedan od preživjelih, dao je iskaz Međunarodnom krivičnom sudu za bivšu Jugoslaviju opisavši kako su ga oslijepili u dobi od 12 godina:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Bio je nogometni stadion u Srebrenici i 12. aprila 1993. na njemu je bilo mnogo ljudi i mi smo igrali utakmicu i zatim je sa Zvijezde počelo granatiranje, sa brda iznad Bratunca, i stadion je granatiran i ja sam oslijepljen, a ubijeno je 62 ljudi na stadionu... Ja sam razumio da je tog dana ubijeno 60, 62 ljudi i da je bilo preko 100 ranjenih.“</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Preživjele je liječio dr. Nedret Mujkanović koji je u intervjuu sa Chuckom Sudeticem opisao kako su ljudi sjedili ispred škole koja je bila puna izbjeglica, a djeca su igrala nogomet i druge igre.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Za manje od minute 7 raketa iz VBR-a palo je na površinu veličine otprilike kao polovina nogometnog terena."“</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mujkanović je rekao Sudeticu da je 36 ljudi poginulo na mjestu, a 102 teško ranjeno. Rekao je da su Srbi znali da se u školi nalazi kamp za izbjeglice iz Cerske i Konjević-Polja.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Usmjerili su vatru prema toj lokaciji. To je bilo potpuno iznenađenje. Okolo su bili razbacani dijelovi tijela žena i nije se mogao naći način da se oni sastave. Vidio sam jednu mrtvu majku na zemlji koja je držala ruke svoje mrtve djece. Niko od njih nije imao glave."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
The following is a rare footage from the besieged Srebrenica that I unearthed from the court database of the Hague Tribunal. The footage was taken in August of 1992. It shows Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) civilians in the besieged enclave of Srebrenica hiding in the woods from Serb forces that destroyed surrounding Bosnian Muslim villages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>US, Canada, Jordan boycott UN meeting on global criminal justice that excluded war victims</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">UNITED NATIONS – Barred from speaking at a U.N. meeting on international criminal justice, Bosnian activist Munira Subasic, who lost 22 close family members in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, said she felt powerless as she listened to Serbia's ultranationalist president attack the U.N. war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia as politically biased.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subasic said Wednesday that she believed that Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic was also denying the genocide at Srebrenica by Bosnian Serbs that killed some 8,000 Muslim [Bosniak] men and boys, including her husband and beloved youngest son, Nermin. It was Europe's worst massacre of civilians since World War II.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As her hurt and anger rose, Subasic said she put on a T-shirt which she had brought as a gift for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, saying "Srebrenica" on which she had added the words "Justice Is Slow But It's Reachable." Next to her, she said, was a banner highlighting the genocide in the Serb-controlled half of Bosnia, Republika Srpska.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"All of a sudden I was surrounded by security ... and in a very curt manner they told me that I have to leave the room," Subasic told reporters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She blamed U.N. General Assembly President Vuk Jeremic, a former Serb foreign minister, who organized the meeting and had banned her organization, the Mothers of Srebrenica, from making a five-minute statement. His spokesman Nikola Jovanovic said Jeremic has no personal security and doesn't give instructions to U.N. security and speculated she was removed because of the T-shirt and banner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subasic's expulsion followed a boycott of the meeting by the United States, Canada and Jordan because it didn't include Bosnia's war victims and gave Serbian officials a platform to attack the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal instead of focusing on the broader announced theme, the "Role of International Criminal Justice in Reconciliation."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To protest the victims' exclusion, Jordan's U.N. Ambassador Prince Zeid al Hussein and Liechtenstein's U.N. Ambassador Christian Wenewaser hosted a press conference for the Mothers of Srebrenica and the Association of Witnesses and Survivors of Genocide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zeid, who was a U.N. peacekeeper in Bosnia and served from 2002 to 2005 as the first president of the Assembly of States Parties for the International Criminal Court, encouraged other countries in the 193-nation General Assembly to boycott the meeting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But it was impossible to say whether any did because Jeremic moved the meeting from the main General Assembly chamber, where all countries have nameplates and assigned seats, to a conference room where delegates sit anywhere. Jovanovic said 82 countries made statements.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zeid expressed "indignation" at the way Jeremic exploited his position and the important theme to provide an opportunity for others to launch "an unmerited attack by the Serb Progressive Party against the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wenewaser said he and Zeid had urged Jeremic to include the victims, which is especially important because of the U.N. involvement in Bosnia and the failure of U.N. peacekeepers to protect civilians in Srebrenica, and look at the issues "in a comprehensive and in a balanced way" instead of "clearly driving a political agenda."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Unfortunately, that has not been possible," he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The ambassadors also tried to get Jeremic to change the April 10 date of the meeting because it is the 71st anniversary of the founding of the pro-Nazi Croatian state, a fact mentioned by Nikolic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Aware of the controversy, Ban as U.N. chief gave his "full and unequivocal support" to all international tribunals in an opening speech and called on all countries to support and strengthen the system of international criminal justice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Supporting the tribunals and courts means respecting — and not calling into question — their independence, impartiality and integrity," Ban said. "It means implementing their decisions. And it means safeguarding them from those who seek to undermine them for reasons that may have more to do with politics than justice."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But soon after, Nikolic delivered a lengthy attack on the Yugoslav tribunal, saying it targeted Serbs, overlooked Croats and Bosnians, and made "unjust legal decisions based on untruths and rendered under political pressure." He also questioned the court's impartiality and objectivity "when there is a systematic atmosphere of a lynch-mobbing of everything that is Serbian," and said unlawful arrests, kidnappings and gathering of evidence "are a rule where Serbs are concerned."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"From the point of view of science and ethics, the Hague trials may be seen on a par with the processes held by the Inquisition," Nikolic said. "The proceedings against Serbs are motivated by punishment and revenge."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">During the 1990s Balkan wars, Nikolic was deputy leader of the extremist Serbian Radical Party, which was even more hardline than the late strongman Slobodan Milosevic — who plunged the region into its ethnic conflagration. Nikolic was also a disciple of Vojislav Seselj, a firebrand right-wing politician who at the closing session of his war crimes trial at The Hague, Netherlands, last month retold the history of the war from a Serb perspective, claiming that Serbs had been subjected to a "genocide."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Erin Pelton, spokeswoman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, said the United States would not participate in the "unbalanced, inflammatory" meeting which failed to provide victims of atrocities a voice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Among those invited who declined to attend were David Tolbert, president of the International Center for Transitional Justice; Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch; President of the International Criminal Court Song Sang-Hyun and President of the Assembly of States Parties for the International Criminal Court Tina Intelmann.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At the last minute, a highly controversial panelist was added — Canadian Maj. Gen. Lewis MacKenzie, the first commander of Sector Sarajevo. A Facebook initiative by a Bosnia-based organization called Stop Genocide Denial launched a petition drive asking Ban to boycott the meeting and ban MacKenzie because of serious allegations of misconduct against him "that include alleged visits to a rape camp run by Bosnian Serbs in 1992."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subasic also criticized his inclusion, saying girls and women who were raped at the camp still suffer as do the survivors of Srebrenica.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Two months ago, she said, a doctor at a laboratory doing DNA analysis called and told her that they had found remains of her youngest son "that I loved the most" — two bones, one from one grave and another from a grave 25 kilometers (15 1/2 miles) away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"I didn't give birth to a son without a head or arms or legs, but now I have to take him out that way," Subasic said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She said it was a very sad day coming to the United Nations because the U.N. "did not learn something from the past."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"I felt the same way I felt in 1995," Subasic said. "I had rights to nothing. That's how I felt in the building of the United Nations."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But on an optimistic note, she said, "I think justice will find a way to conquer the evil."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That's the message on the T-shirt which she said she delivered to the secretary-general after she was expelled from the General Assembly meeting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As a victim of genocide, Subasic said, "I will never forgive. I will never forget."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She urged the world to make sure that mothers do not suffer the way the mothers of Srebrenica continue to suffer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subasic said she would like her granddaughters to have friends that are Serb, Croat, Jewish, Roma or American, and she called on people everywhere "to love others and different people — and not to allow for hatred. I think hatred is the worst thing. I don't hate anyone."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Oslobođenje -- Subašić je prethodno izbačena iz sale UN-a u kojoj se održavala rasprava Generalne skupštine UN-a na temu "Uloga Međunarodnog kaznenog suda na pomirenju".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(Ovu srpsku propagandnu debatu je organizovao Vuk Jeremić.)</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span> <br />

</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subašić za vrijeme obraćanja srbijanskog predsjednika Tomislava Nikolića pojavila u sali noseći majicu na kojoj je pisalo: ''Srebrenica – pravda je spora ali dostižna'', a pokušala je držati i transparent na kome je pisalo "Republika Srpska, genocidna tvorevina".</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Morala sam u miru slušati laži na sjednici UN-a", kazala je Subašić na konferenciji za novinare koju su za nju organizirali stalni predstavnici Jordana i Lihtenštajna u UN-u. Predstavnici ovih zemalja uputili su kritike Jeremiću zbog "neizbalansirane sjednice i nedavanja svim stranama pravo da se obrate".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stalni predstavnik Jordana u UN-u, Zeyd Al-Huseyin, kazao je da govornici na sjednici nisu birani pravedno. Ističući da Bošnjacima nije dato pravo da održe govore, Huseyin je objavio da su iz tog razloga njegova zemlja i Lihtenštajn odlučili da bojkotiraju sjednicu, te da su organizovali konferenciju za novinare kako bi majci Srebrenice dali pravo da se obrati javnosti.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Subašić je izrazila tugu zbog današnjeg incidenta i poručila da Ujedinjene nacije ništa nisu naučile iz svega što se dešavalo u prošlosti.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ona je podsjetila da je bivši ministar vanjskih poslova Srbije i aktuelni predsjednik Generalne skupštine UN-a Vuk Jeremić potpisnik "skandala sa himnom" i dodala da se danas dogodio sličan skandal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Izbačena sam iz salona za sjednice. Nisam dobila pravo da se obratim, uprkos tome što sam se ranije javila za riječ. Kada se predsjednik Srbije Nikolić obratio skupu, obukla sam majicu sa natpisom "Srebrenica - pravda je spora, ali dostižna". Nakon toga, podigla sam transparent na kojem je pisalo "Republika Srpska, genocidna tvorevina. Ali službenici bezbjednosti su me izbacili napolje", kazala je Subašić.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Otkrila je da je istu majicu kasnije poklonila generalnom sekretaru UN-a Ban Ki-moonu, koji je prihvatio poklon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Naglasivši da preživjele žrtve genocida u Srebrenici nikada neće zaboraviti ono što se desilo u Bosni i Hercegovini, Subašić je kazala da je sramotno „što se oni koji su odgovorni za ubijanja i silovanja dobili pravo da se obrate”.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Razočarenje</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">U posebnom razgovoru s reporterom agencije Anadolija iz New Yorka, Subašić je današnju debatu u UN-u nazvala razočarenjem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Danas sam u tišini morala slušati laži koje se izgovaraju u UN-u. Dok su Vuk Jeremić i Tomislav Nikolić imali pravo govora, nama nisu dali isto pravo. Pokušavali su prikazati laži kao istinu, a odgovorne za genocid kao žrtve. Kao da su svi krivi, a jedino oni nevini", istakla je Subašić uporedivši današnju situaciju sa onom od prije 18 godina kada je gledala genocid nad Bošnjacima u Srebrenici.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Podsjetila je da je Ban Ki-moon prije sedam mjeseci posjetio Srebrenicu i da se sastao sa majkama Srebrenice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Ban zna šta se desilo i svjestan je onoga što se danas dešava. To je pozitivna osoba koju poštujem", rekla je Subašić i naglasila da je Vuk Jeremić debatu organizirao kako bi ljudima predstavio da su Srbi najveće žrtve rata u bivšoj Jugoslaviji jer je većina presuda Haškog tribunala izrečena protiv Srba.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Jeremić nije mislio ni na Bošnjake, ni na Hrvate”, rekla je Subašić.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">„Tužna sam jer UN nisu ništa naučile iz prošlosti.Tužna sam što su UN prije tri mjeseca dozvolile Vuku Jeremiću da ovdje pusti ‘Marš na Drinu’, iako su oni koji su ubijali našu djecu i silovali naše kćerke 1995. godine pjevali tu pesmu”, rekla je Subašić.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">„Ondje gdje je Milošević stao, Jeremić je nastavio”, rekla je Subašić i podsjetila da se genocid u Srebrenici desio u julu 1995. kada je taj grad bio proglašen zaštićenom zonom UN-a.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">„Bila sam nemoćna kada sam se borila za svog sina. Bila sam nemoćna kada sam sakupljala kosti svoga sina. I danas sam bila nemoćna. Nisam mogla čak ni da saslušam govor predsjednika Srbije. Bila sam izbačena”, zaključila je predsjednica Udruženja „Majke enklava Srebrenica i Žepa” Munira Subašić.</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">BLIC - HAG - Optuženi Ratko Mladić izbačen je danas iz sudnice Tribunala u Hagu zato što je rekao da svjedok optužbe iz Srebrenice, koji je preživeo strijeljanje, laže, a dok su ga pripadnici obezbjeđenja izvodili svjedoku je opsovao majku "tursku".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Bivši komandant Vojske Republike Srpske, general Mladić (70) optužen je za genocid nad oko 8.000 srebreničkih Bošnjaka u danima pošto je VRS, 11. jula 1995, zauzela tu enklavu koja je bila pod zaštitom UN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Poslije dva dana odsustva zbog manjeg medicinskog zahvata, Mladić je jutros doveden u sudnicu gdje je svjedok RM-346 započeo iskaz o tome kako je preživio strijeljanje stotina Bošnjaka na vojnoj farmi Branjevo, 16. jula 1995.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zbog Mladićevog zdravstvenog stanja, sudije su, poslije dvadesetak minuta, dale kratku pauzu da bi optuženi mogao da na nekoliko minuta izađe iz sudnice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Dok se vraćao u sudnicu, Mladić je glasno izgovorio nekoliko riječi, a predsjedavajući sudija Alfons Ori (Alphons Orie) pitao je svjedoka da li se optuženi njemu obratio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Najvjerovatnije, zato što je rekao da sam ja to sve slagao, nisam siguran da li je za mene, pretpostavljam", odgovorio je RM-346. Sudija Ori potom je naložio da Mladića izvedu iz sudnice, a optuženi je, dok su ga stražari izvodili, na to doviknuo: "Što me, bre, uklanjaš međede jedan! Ja sam rekao mom advokatu... Ovaj laže, Turčin, pička ti materina turska!".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Pozvan od sudija da potvrdi ili negira da je njegov klijent rekao svjedoku da laže, Mladićev advokat Branko Lukić odgovorio je da je Mladić rekao advokatu Miodragu Stojanoviću da je svjedok "sve naučio napamet".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">RM-346 je, na pitanje sudije, kazao da je Mladić rekao da je on sve "izmislio i slagao". Iskaz svjedoka nastavljen je pošto je Mladić izveden iz sudnice.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inspektor u francuskoj policiji Žan-Rene Ruez (Jean-Rene Ruez) bio je vođa tima istražitelja haškog tužilaštva za Srebrenicu od 1995. do 2001. godine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Svjedočio je u svim predmetima po optužbama za zločine u Srebrenici, odnosno na suđenju Radislavu Krstiću, Vidoju Blagojeviću i Draganu Jokiću, u predmetu "Popović i drugi", protiv sedmorice oficira policije i Vojske Republike Srpske, te na suđenjima Zdravku Tolimiru i Radovanu Karadžiću.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ruez je svjedočio i u raspravi o odmjeravanju kazne Draženu Erdemoviću, koji je priznao krivicu za učešće u zločinima na području Srebrenice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Suđenje će biti nastavljeno sutra, a očekuje se da svjedočenje Rueza traje puna tri dana.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">U Komemorativnom centru u Tuzli jučer je uz prisustvo porodica ubijenih i vještaka sudske medicine dr. Vede Tuce, identifikovano sedam žrtava etničkog čišćenja sa područja Vlasenice, Bratunca i Bijeljine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Žrtve su ekshumirane iz masovnih grobnica Ogradice i Klančići, masovne grobnice Zalužje, Gradskom groblju Trnovac u Tuzli. Posmrtni ostaci jedne žrtve preuzeti su od Komisije za nestale osobe Vlade Srbije, a ekshumirani su na groblju Lešće u Beogradu. Bratunčanin Mevludin Čivić jučer je identifikovao amidžu Memiša Čivića. Mevludin je u proteklom ratu izgubio 12 članova porodice, a amidža je prvi koji je identifikovan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Govori se da su pobijeni u rudniku u Sasama, ali nema svjedoka. Ubijeni su 1992, nakon što su mjesec lutali po šumama. Nađeni su, potom su bili u školi "Vuk Karadžić" u Bratuncu, odakle su prebačeni u Sase. To su informacije koje ja imam. Za zločine nikada niko nije odgovarao, kazao je Čivić.</span></div>

U pitanju je pet tijela koja su zapaljena i vidjet ćemo šta je dr. Tuco uspio da utvrdi DNK analizom. Nismo zadovoljni ekshumacijama i identifikacijom, pogotovo otkad se taj proces odvija preko državnog nivoa. Tužilaštva su zakazala i u posljednje tri godine nije otvorena niti jedna masovna grobnica, kazala je Sinanović.</span></div>

In most cases, they then entered the village or hamlet, expelled or killed the population, who offered no significant resistance, and destroyed their homes.</span></span></div>

</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">There is a multitude of evidence publicly available that proves that Bosnian Serb and other forces executed 7,000 to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim prisoners from Srebrenica in one week in July 1995. Despite this, there are still many people in Serbia and Montenegro who try to deny the full enormity of the crime that Bosnian Serb military, police and other forces (including, allegedly, forces from Serbia) committed. They argue that the actual number of dead is exaggerated, that ‘only’ around 2,000 died. They also argue that most of these 2,000 dead were casualties of war—Bosnian Muslim soldiers killed in battle. Some who are even bolder, claim that it was a ‘crime of passion’—revenge for all those Serbs killed in the villages around Srebrenica. Still others claim that what happened at Srebrenica was not genocide. The Tribunal has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that each of these claims is wrong.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">The massacre that occurred in Srebrenica in July 1995 was the single worst atrocity committed in the former Yugoslavia during the wars of the 1990s and the worst massacre that occurred in Europe since the months after World War II. This is why the ICTY, which was established in 1993 to try those most responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the former Yugoslavia since 1991,(2) has invested a great deal of time and effort in investigating what happened in Srebrenica and bringing those responsible to justice. The ICTY has issued indictments against 19 individuals for crimes committed in Srebrenica, all but one of which are against high-level perpetrators—those who planned and ordered the killing operation. So far, the Tribunal has completed trials and appeals against three accused:</span></span></div>

Erdemović and Obrenović admitted their participation in the Srebrenica killings. The facts about Srebrenica contained in the judgements against Krstić,(3) Erdemović(4) and Obrenović(5) have been established beyond a reasonable doubt.(6)</span></span></div>

The Tribunal has established beyond a reasonable doubt that the vast majority of those killed were not killed in combat, but were victims of executions. The Tribunal has established beyond a reasonable doubt that the killings did not occur in a moment of passion, but were the product of a well-planned and coordinated operation.

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Tribunal has determined that the number of Bosnian men and boys killed in Srebrenica is between 7,000 and 8,000. In order to come to this conclusion, the Judges in the Krstić case accepted and reviewed a great deal of evidentiary material.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Among the evidence that the Judges used to establish the number of people the Bosnian Serbs killed was that from the mass graves where the victims were buried. The Chamber reviewed evidence from 21 mass graves that had been exhumed by the ICTY from 1996 to 2000.(7) Of these, 14 were “primary gravesites”, where the victims’ bodies had been buried immediately after they were killed. Bosnian Serb forces subsequently disturbed eight of these primary gravesites in an attempt to cover up their crimes: during a period of several weeks in September and October 1995, they removed bodies from the primary graves and reburied them in other locations that are referred to as “secondary gravesites.” Seven of the 21 mass graves were such “secondary” burial sites.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Determining the exact number of bodies in each of the mass graves was a very difficult task, which was complicated by the fact that Bosnian Serb forces mutilated and dismembered many of the remains when they used heavy machinery to exhume and rebury them.(8) Thus body parts from the same person could be found in two separate mass graves—a primary and a secondary one.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nevertheless, the forensic experts were able to determine the minimum number of bodies contained in all the discovered graves. That number was 2,028 victims.(9) At the time the judges in the Krstić trial issued their Judgement in August 2001, they noted that the Prosecution had identified 18 other mass graves that had not yet been exhumed.(10) In other words, the Judges recognized at that time that 2,028 exhumed bodies do not represent the sum total of the Bosnian Muslim men and boys killed at Srebrenica.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Trial Chamber in the Krstić case heard evidence from a demographics expert whose task it was to determine the number of people who have been reported as missing from Srebrenica. The demographics expert cross-referenced the list of missing persons of the International Committee of the Red Cross with other sources, including lists of those who were missing or killed before July 1995, and other data that shows who was alive after. In this way, he was able to make sure that his figures could only refer to those who were missing as a result of the massacres at Srebrenica in July 1995. Based on this research, he testified that a conservative estimate of the number of people missing from Srebrenica is 7,475.(11)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Trial Chamber in the Krstić case heard evidence of intercepted conversations between VRS soldiers, including the accused, which corroborates the fact that Bosnian Serb forces killed between 7,000 to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim prisoners.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">As has become standard practice in modern warfare, both the VRS and the Bosnian Army (ABiH) monitored enemy communications. The VRS had secure means of communication, but they did not always work and took longer to set up, so the officers often used unsecured lines because they were quicker. Intelligence officers from the ABiH intercepted conversations over such lines and transcribed them. These recordings were then submitted to the Tribunal’s Office of the Prosecutor.(12)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Trial Chamber heard direct evidence from the Bosnian Army personnel who were transcribing the conversations. It also heard about the Prosecution’s efforts to determine whether the transcripts were reliable and genuine, including their efforts to find evidence from other sources to corroborate the information from the transcripts.(13) As a result, not all the intercepts could be admitted as evidence, but those that were showed a conclusive story. Of the intercepts that were admitted as evidence in the Krstić case, the Trial Chamber found the following to be particularly significant in determining the number of Bosnian Muslims the Bosnian Serb forces took prisoner and killed:</span></span></div>

In it, Beara asks Krstić for more men. He states “I don’t know what to do. I mean it, Krle [Krstić’s nickname]. There are still 3,500 “parcels” that I have to distribute and I have no solution.” Krstić replies, “Fuck it, I’ll see what I can do.” From other intercepted telephone conversations, the Prosecution was able to show that the word “parcel” means Bosnian Muslim prisoner, and the word “distribute” means to kill them.(17)</span></span></li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps the most compelling evidence that the Tribunal has heard that proves that Bosnian Serb forces killed 7,000 to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men comes from the people who actually participated in the killing operation. In the Krstić trial, the Trial Chamber heard from Dražen Erdemović, a VRS soldier with the 10th Sabotage Detachment, who participated in one of the largest executions, which took place at the Branjevo Military Farm on 16 July 1995. Erdemović pleaded guilty to participating in these executions and later testified in the case against General Krstić.(18) Dražen Erdemović’s description of how his unit killed their victims assists in getting an idea of how many people lost their lives during those five days in July.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">In his testimony, Erdemović explained that his unit received orders on the morning of 16 July 1995 to go to the Branjevo Military farm. Shortly after they reached the farm, buses carrying Bosnian Muslim men began to arrive. Erdemović and the other members of his unit were given orders to shoot the prisoners. Erdemović testified that, in his estimate, they killed between 1,000 and 1,200 Bosnian Muslim men on that day alone.(19) And the Branjevo Military Farm was not the only site at which executions took place: the Trial Chamber examined evidence of mass executions at a total of nine sites, including the Branjevo Military Farm.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In Republika Srpska and Serbia one does not only hear that the number of dead was much lower than 7,000 to 8,000. One also hears that the victims were not civilians or prisoners of war, but rather soldiers who died in battle. Therefore, according to them, VRS forces were abiding by the laws of war and no crime was committed at Srebrenica.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Evidence from the exhumations that the Trial Chamber reviewed in the Krstić case paints quite a different picture. It shows that most of the victims were not killed in combat but in mass executions. In the mass graves that have been exhumed so far, Tribunal investigators found 448 blindfolds on or with the victims’ bodies as well as 423 pieces of cloth, string or wire that were used to tie the victims’ hands.(20) People who were blindfolded or had their hands tied behind their backs were obviously not killed in combat. The Trial Chamber also noted that some of the victims in the mass graves were handicapped, and therefore, very unlikely to have been combatants.(21)</span></span></div>

If those buried in the mass graves had indeed been soldiers killed in battle, there would have been no need for Bosnian Serb forces to execute a massive cover-up campaign.(26) And there is much evidence that proves that is exactly what they did in September and October of 1995. In order to cover up their initial crimes of killing civilians and prisoners of war, the Bosnian Serb forces committed another crime—they attempted to relocate the bodies. They used bulldozers and other heavy machinery to exhume a number of the mass gravesites and move the bodies to other locations. The Prosecution conducted forensic analysis of the 21 mass graves that it exhumed and found that some of the primary and secondary sites were linked. Forensic experts analyzed the soil, bullets and other materials found in the sites they exhumed and found that 12 of them were linked to each other.(27) The Trial Chamber in the Krstić case found that this evidence demonstrates an extensive campaign to conceal the bodies of the men who the Bosnian Serb forces killed and buried in mass gravesites in July 1995. This cover-up attempt shows not only that Bosnian Serb forces committed horrible crimes, but also that they were well aware that what they had done was against the law.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Perhaps the most perfidious claim that one hears in Republika Srpska and Serbia is that Bosnian Serb forces killed the Bosnian Muslim prisoners from Srebrenica in revenge. It is claimed that Bosnian Serbs who perpetrated the massacre were upset by the crimes Bosnian Muslim forces committed against Serbs in the villages around Srebrenica,(28) and acted in the heat of passion, as if that would justify killing thousands of Bosnian Muslim prisoners. Revenge is not a defence under international law, which is clear to any army soldier and certainly experienced officers. It is a barbaric concept, and the law exists precisely to prevent it. Those who act out of revenge, or call on it in order to justify crimes, are dealing a blow to the rule of law, and thus to civilization itself. Nor can revenge morally justify killing 7,000 to 8,000 people simply because they share the same ethnicity as others who perpetrated crimes: one crime can never justify another.</span></span></div>

It is impossible to kill 7,000 to 8,000 people in the space of one week without methodical planning and substantial resources. Soldiers have to be mobilized to guard the prisoners, to move them from holding locations to execution sites, and to shoot them. Multiple locations to hold the prisoners and to execute them need to be identified and secured. Thousands of rounds of ammunition to shoot the prisoners need to be supplied. Numerous vehicles and hundreds of litres of fuel need to be commandeered to move the prisoners. A number of bulldozers and excavators need to be commissioned to dig their graves. During a state of war mobilizing such resources cannot be done at the whim of a few crazy soldiers. It needs to be ordered and authorized by commanders at high-levels.</span></span></div>

Nikolić also told him that the order came from ICTY indictee Ratko Mladić, Chief of the VRS General Staff, and that everyone knew about it, including Obrenović’s commanding officer, ICTY indictee Vinko Pandurević, for whom he was standing in.(35) He also stated the following:</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Another objection that we hear frequently in Serbia and Montenegro is that what happened at Srebrenica is not genocide. General Krstić’s Defence made precisely this claim during his trial. But before discussing the Defence’s reasoning and why the Trial Chamber rejected it, it is first important to look at the legal definition of genocide, since the term is quite often misused. The Tribunal’s Statute defines genocide as:</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">General Krstić’s Defence did not challenge the fact that Bosnian Serb forces killed a significant number of Bosnian Muslim men, but disagreed that it constitutes genocide. The Defence argued that killing up to 7,500 Bosnian Muslims does not constitute a substantial part of the Bosnian Muslim group, which numbers about 1.4 million people, or even a substantial part of the 40,000 Bosnian Muslims of Srebrenica. The Defence also argued that Bosnian Serb forces did not kill the women, children and elderly, which it could have, unlike in other genocides in history. It further argued that had it intended to destroy the Bosnian Muslims as a group, it would also have killed the Bosnian Muslims of Žepa.(37)</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Trial Chamber found that the evidence disproved the Defence’s claims. Bosnian Serb forces systematically massacred between 7,000 and 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men from Srebrenica during a period of no more than seven days. At the same time, they forcibly transferred the rest of the Bosnian Muslim population from Srebrenica, some 25,000 people. The Trial Chamber stated that it could not have escaped the Bosnian Serb forces that killing two or three generations of men would have a lasting and devastating impact on the survival of the Bosnian Muslim community from Srebrenica. Bosnian Serb forces knew that killing the men, and forcibly transferring the women, children and elderly would inevitably result in the physical disappearance of the Bosnian Muslim population of Srebrenica. The Trial Chamber pointed out that their intent to destroy the Bosnian Muslims of Srebrenica can also be seen in the fact that they destroyed Bosnian Muslim homes and the principal mosque in Srebrenica. In short, the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Bosnian Serb forces intended to kill the Bosnian Muslim men of military age in order to destroy the community of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.(38) The Tribunal’s Appeals Chamber confirmed the Trial Chamber’s findings on this point and affirmed that what happened at Srebrenica was an act of genocide.(39)</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 23.99147605895996px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Evidence from exhumations, demographic experts, intercepted communications, documents, victim testimony and perpetrator testimony led the Trial Chamber to the following irrefutable conclusions: that Bosnian Serb forces killed between 7,000 and 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in July 1995; that the victims were either civilians or prisoners of war; that the massacre and the subsequent cover-up operation were planned and well-organised; and that it was an act of genocide. It is worthy of note that since the Judgement against General Radislav Krstić was handed down in August 2001, more evidence has emerged that affirms the Tribunal’s findings. Among them is the Report of the Republika Srpska Commission to Investigate Events in and around Srebrenica from 10 to 19 July 1995. The Commission’s report, which identifies 32 new mass graves, found that “in the period between 10–19 July 1995 many thousands of Bosnians were liquidated, in a manner that constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law.”(40)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Relatives of three victims of the worst massacre in Europe since World War II wanted Gen. Thom Karremans held criminally responsible for their deaths, arguing that he turned them over to the Serbs when he should have offered them protection because they had worked for the peacekeepers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But prosecutors said in a statement that Karremans and two other senior Dutch officers "cannot be held liable under criminal law for having been involved in the crimes committed by the Bosnian Serbian Army in July 1995 in Srebrenica."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The massacre and the Dutch peacekeepers' involvement in it has been a national trauma for the Netherlands, which has long prided itself on offering protection to endangered minorities. A national government resigned en masse after a critical report in 2002 and many of the ill-equipped troops who served in Srebrenica needed medical or psychological treatment when they got home.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Bosnian Serb forces separated the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosniaks" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Bosniak</span></a> men and boys in Srebrenica from women and the elderly and then transported them away to remote sites dotted around the hills surrounding the town and summarily executed them before plowing their bodies into mass graves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In a separate civil suit brought by the relatives of the three victims, a Hague appeals court ruled that the Dutch state is liable for the deaths and must pay compensation to the relatives. That judgment is under appeal at the Dutch Supreme Court.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In another case brought by a group called The Mothers of Srebrenica, the Dutch Supreme Court last year ruled that the United Nations had immunity from prosecution, saying that such legal protection was a key foundation stone to peacekeeping missions around the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Liesbeth Zegveld, the human rights lawyer who represents the victims' families, told The Associated Press she will appeal the decision not to launch a criminal case against the three officers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zegveld said prosecutors had "failed to do their job" by not sufficiently investigating the case and instead relying on public documents and including U.N. reports, an inquiry by the country's national war documentation center and testimony by Dutch soldiers before the U.N.'s Yugoslav war crimes tribunal, where the alleged architects of the massacre, former Bosnian Serb military chief Gen. Ratko Mladic and his political boss, Radovan Karadzic are on trial for genocide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zegveld said that when one of the relatives heard Thursday's decision she asked simply, "Can we ever close this file? Will at some point anyone acknowledge what went wrong?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Karremans, who no longer works for the Dutch military, could not be traced for comment. He reportedly now lives in retirement in Spain.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">1. In this Judgement, the Majority reverses Perisic’s convictions for aiding and abetting murder, inhumane acts, and persecution as crimes against humanity; and murder and attacks on civilians as violations of the laws or customs of war. This reversal is predicated on the finding that the Trial Chamber erred in holding that specific direction is not a required element of the actus reus of aiding and abetting liability. The Majority then conducts a de novo review of the evidence and concludes that it was insufficient to prove that the aid Perisic provided was specifically directed towards the criminal activities of the VRS [Bosnian Serb Army] in Sarajevo and Srebrenica. I respectfully disagree with the Majority’s reasoning and its conclusion in this regard.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. While I recognise that the specific direction requirement has been mentioned in the relevant jurisprudence, I note that it has not been applied consistently. Indeed, the cases cited by the Majority as evidence of an established specific direction requirement merely make mention of “acts directed at specific crimes” as an element of the actus reus of aiding and abetting liability. In the majority of these cases the Appeals Chamber simply restates language from the Tadic Appeal Judgement without expressly applying the specific direction requirement to the facts of the case before it. Moreover, the jurisprudence of the Tribunal demonstrates that aiding and abetting liability may be established without requiring that the acts of the accused were specifically directed to a crime. In these circumstances, I am not persuaded that specific direction is an essential element of the actus reus of aiding and abetting liability – or that it is necessary to explicitly consider specific direction in cases where the aider and abettor is remote from the relevant crimes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Given that specific direction has not been applied in past cases with any rigor, to insist on such a requirement now effectively raises the threshold for aiding and abetting liability. This shift risks undermining the very purpose of aiding and abetting liability by allowing those responsible for knowingly facilitating the most grievous crimes to evade responsibility for their acts. The present appeal is a case in point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. The Trial Chamber held Perisic responsible for facilitating the criminal acts of the VRS in Sarajevo and Srebrenica. Although the Trial Chamber did not characterise the VRS as a wholly criminal organisation, it nonetheless found that the crimes committed by the VRS were “inextricably linked to the war strategy and objectives of the VRS leadership.” It further found that the VRS “wag₣edğ a war that encompassed systematic criminal actions against Bosnian Muslim civilians as a military strategy and objective.” In this regard, the Trial Chamber found that the siege of Sarajevo was instrumental to the implementation of a VRS objective and that the “systematic and widespread sniping and shelling of civilians in Sarajevo by the VRS over a period of three years demonstrate₣dğ that the VRS’s leading officers relied on criminal acts to further the siege.” With regard to Srebrenica, the Trial Chamber found that the VRS pursued a strategic objective “aimed at establishing a corridor in the Drina River valley and eliminating the Drina River as a border between the Serbian states.” It concluded that “this goal was implemented through the plan of ‘plunging the Bosnian Muslim population into a humanitarian crisis and ultimately eliminating the enclave’.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. As the highest ranking officer of the VJ, Perisic oversaw a system which provided considerable practical assistance to the VRS. In his capacity as Chief of the VJ General Staff, Perisic institutionalised the provision of logistical assistance to the VRS and had the power to approve or deny aid requests from the VRS. The Trial Chamber noted that Perisic refused aid requests that did not comply with his procurement procedure and that his decisions in this regard were final. Moreover, the Trial Chamber considered that “Perisic’s role went beyond administering the logistical assistance process” and noted that Perisic “recurrently encouraged the SDC [Supreme Defence Council] to maintain this assistance, thereby helping craft the FRY’s [Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's] policy to aid these armies.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. The Trial Chamber found that Perisic presided over “a system providing comprehensive military assistance to the VRS”. It noted that this assistance included “considerable quantities of weaponry comprising a very large part of the VRS’s munition requirements” and the transfer of a number of VJ officers and key personnel to the VRS. The Trial Chamber carefully assessed the magnitude of the logistical aid Perisic directed towards the VRS and found that “without the regular supply of considerable quantities of ammunition and other weaponry, as well as fuel, technical expertise, repair services and personnel training, the VRS would have been hampered in conducting its operations in Sarajevo and Srebrenica.” Significantly, the Trial Chamber established that “important logistical and technical support was provided to the units involved in perpetrating the charged crimes” in Sarajevo and Srebrenica.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. This comprehensive assistance was crucial to the VRS’s continued existence. The Trial Chamber found that the assistance provided by Perisic “sustained the very life line of the VRS and created the conditions for it to implement a war strategy that encompassed the commission of crimes against civilians.” Without this aid, the Trial Chamber concluded, the VRS could not have operated effectively as an army. It consequently found that “Perisic’s logistical assistance and personnel assistance, individually and cumulatively, had a substantial effect on the crimes perpetrated by the VRS in Sarajevo and Srebrenica”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. The Trial Chamber also reviewed extensive evidence in finding that Perisic was aware of the VRS’s propensity to commit criminal acts. It found that, from the early stages of the war, “Perisic was provided with information, from a variety of sources, of the VRS’s criminal behaviour and discriminatory intent. This information related to acts of violence against Bosnian Muslims perpetrated in the BiH theatre of war and made Perisic aware of the VRS’s propensity to commit crimes.” The Trial Chamber concluded that Perisic knew “of the VRS criminal intent in the implementation of its war strategy” and nonetheless provided assistance to the VRS war effort in the Sarajevo campaign. It further found that Perisic “knew that individual crimes committed by the VRS before the attack on Srebrenica would probably be followed by more crimes committed by the VRS after the take-over of the enclave in July 1995” and that “Perisic had contemporaneous knowledge of allegations that the VRS was committing crimes in Srebrenica.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Having carefully reviewed Perisic’s submissions on appeal, I am satisfied that the Trial Chamber did not err in its assessment of the evidence on the record or in its analysis of aiding and abetting liability. Perisic’s acts, which facilitated the large-scale crimes of the VRS through the provision of considerable and comprehensive aid, constitute a prime example of conduct to which aiding and abetting liability should attach. Moreover, even assuming specific direction were a required element of aiding and abetting liability, I am not convinced that an acquittal would be justified given the magnitude, critical importance, and continued nature of the assistance Perisic provided to the VRS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10. In these circumstances, I would have upheld Perisic’s convictions for aiding and abetting the crimes committed by the VRS in Sarajevo and Srebrenica.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">OSLOBODJENJE -- Oslobađajuću presudu Momčila Perišića doživjeli smo kao ponovni genocid koji se desio 1995.godine, kazala je u izjavi za Fenu Munira Subašić, predsjednica Udruženja Pokret majke enklava Srebrenice i Žepe, koja se nalazi u Den Haagu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dodala je kako je ovo politička presuda, te da je ovo licemjerje prema žrtvama.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Posebno je razočaravajuće što je ova presuda došla od suca Theodora Merona koji nas je primio tri sata prije presude. Govorio nam je o pravu i pravdi prema žrtvama", istakla je Subašić. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Naglasila je kako današnji dan i ova presuda treba ući u historiju "da jedan zločinac koji je slao vojsku, tenkove, aviona, i ubijao djecu, učestvovao u genocidu u Srebrenici, Sarajevu, granatirao Zagreb, da je oslobođen".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"Kako je moguće da Haški sud Momčila Perišića, poslije prvostepene presude od 27 godina, danas najednom oslobađa svega i pušta kući? To je van svake pameti", reakcija je Sabahete Fejzić iz Udruženja Pokret majke enklave Srebrenica i Žepa.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Međunarodni kazneni sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju oslobodio je danas u žalbenom postupku bivšeg vojnog zapovjednika jugoslavenske vojske Momčila Perišića osuđenog u prvostepenom postupku na 27 godina zatvora za pomaganje i poticanje Vojske Republike Srpske da ubija i progoni bosanske Bošnjake.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sudac Theodor Meron je odredio "trenutno olsobađanje" 68-godišnjeg Perišića, jednog od glavnih saradnika Slobodana Miloševića.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>Haški tribunal je donio političku odluku</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">U izdvojenom mišljenju Haškog tribunala stoji, ako bi se primijenili ovi standardi iz prvostepene presude Perišiću, da bi svaki komandant ili politički lider morao biti odgovoran u ratu, i stoga je vrlo jasno da je ovo klasična politička poruka, kazao je Ahmić</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Bošnjački oficir za vezu s Haškim tribunalom Amir Ahmić izjavio je za agenciju Anadolija da je oslobađajuća presuda Žalbenog vijeća Haškog tribunala u slučaju bivšeg načelnika Generalštaba Vojske Jugoslavije Momčila Perišića “klasična politička odluka.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"U izdvojenom mišljenju Haškog tribunala stoji, ako bi se primijenili ovi standardi iz prvostepene presude Perišiću, da bi svaki komandant ili politički lider morao biti odgovoran u ratu, i stoga je vrlo jasno da je ovo klasična politička poruka”, kazao je Ahmić.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Napominje da sve ono što je pisalo u odvojenom mišljenju sudije Bakonea Molotoa i prihvaćeno u konačnoj odluci.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"U tom mišljenju Moloto je govorio o budućoj politici koju bi međunarodna zajednica trebala provoditi u svijetu, ali je Žalbeno vijeće Haškog tribunala u slučaju Perišića i prihvatilo takvo tumačenje”, rekao je Ahmić.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Istakao je da je ovom odlukom Haški tribunal zapravo presudio da "Srbija i Crna Gora nisu vodili zločinačku politiku u BiH".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Perišić je ovom odlukom oslobođen krivične odgovornosti. Međutim, najgore od svega je to što je Haški tribunal utvrdio da dokumenti Vrhovnog savjeta odbrane Jugoslavije dokazuju da Srbija i Crna Gora nisu vodile zločinačku politiku te da je pomoć Srbije i Crne Gore koju su pružale Republici Srpskoj bila pomoć u vođenju rata, a nikako u činjenju zločina u BiH”, kazao je bošnjački oficir za vezu s Haškim tribunalom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Napominje da su u Haškom tribunalu tražili da "dokažemo nemoguće” kako bi Perišić bio osuđen za zločine u BiH.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Jednostavno, tražili su od nas da dokažemo da je Perišić poslao konvoj granata i nazvao Ratka Mladića i kazao mu da uzme granate i ispali po Sarajevu, a mi smo onda kao trebali u Sarajevu da pronađemo čahure i uporedimo brojeve čahura koji su stigli iz Beograda sa ovima iz Sarajeva. Ali, ni to nije dokaz, jer, navodno, Perišić je trebao reći Mladiću da puca po Sarajevu”, objasnio je Ahmić.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ševiću, koji je ranije osuđen zbog ratnih zločina na 15 godina zavora izrečena je jedinistvena kazna od 15 godina. Damir Bogdanović iz Rume osuđen je na dve godine.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Predsednik sudskog veća Rastko Popović kazao je da je tokom postupka nesumnjivo utvrđeno da su pripadnici jedinice "Simini četnici", kojom je komandovao pokojni Simo Bogdanović, počinili ratni zločin nad muslimanskim Romima. Popović je rekao da su pripadnici jedinice jula 1992. godine došli do sela Skočić i u jednoj kući okupili Rome koje su tukli nogama i rukama, kundacima i drugim predmetima te da su ubili Afira Nuhanovića.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nekoliko pripadnika jedinice je, prema Popovićevim rečima, silovalo zaštićene svedokinje Beta i Gama, a pokojni Simo Bogdanović, zvani "Sima četnik", vođa grupe, koji je tokom postupka preminuo u pritvoru, silovao je zaštićenu svedokinju Alfa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sud je utvrdio da su svedokinje Alfa, Beta i Gama nekoliko meseci bile zatvorene u kući u Mališiću gde su ih pripadnici "Siminih četnika" mučili, ponižavali i silovali, a niko im nije pomogao i zaštitio.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Precizirana izmenjena optužnica Tužilaštva od 25. decembra prošle godine tereti pripadnike ove paravojne formacije da su u Hamzićima ubili trudnu ženu sa detetom od dve godine u naručju kao i da su "ubili sedmoro dece starih dve, četiri, pet, sedam, deset i dvoje po 13 godina".</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Žene su silovali više puta, a jednoj od njih su kleštima iz usta iščupali dva zlatna zuba. Pre silovanja terali su ih da gole igraju po stolovima i razbijenim čašama. Među njima su bile i devojčice od 13 i 15 godina. Žrtve su primoravali da gole šetaju ulicama.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Izricanju presude prisustvovala su šestorica optuženih, dok je Zoran Stojanović u bolnici. Tokom trajanja postupka, sa slobode su se se branili Stojanović, Gavrić, Đekić i Bogdanović, a predmet je u Specijalnom sudu vođen pod imenom "Zvornik 5".</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Osim optuženih, utvrđeno je da su u zločinima učestvovali još neki pripadnici ove jedinice koji nisu identifikovani, a sada se slobodno šetaju.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ostaje nejasno pod čijom su komandom delovali “Simini četnici”, budući da neki svedoci tvrde da su naređenja primali iz štaba Srpske radikalne stranke.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. My name is Philipp Johann Thomas von Recklinghausen. I was bom on the 8th of May 1968 and I am a German national. I am a photographer by training and I currently work as a freelance photographer in a studio in Berlin which I share with other ficelance photographers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. In 1992, I decided to travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina to see and document with photographs the war which had broken out there. I hitch-hiked from Germany to Bosnia. I reached Tuzla and then heard about the plight of Srebrenica in the first days of 1993. In Tuzla, people were saying that nothing was known about what was happening in Srebrenica. It was completely cut off from the rest of the world. It was said that cannibalism had broken out there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. I made my way into Srebrenica with a group of people who were originally from that area and who wanted to return there to help to defend their homes. Among this group of people was a young man whose name was Senad Alid. He spoke German and in the following weeks he interpreted for me. I have identified him on the photograph at Annex A, which I am informed is Defence Exhibit D872, as the person on the far right of the photograph who appears to be speaking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. It was a very hazardous journey by foot into Srebrenica which took several days. I arrived in the area of Srebrenica on 8 or 9 February 1993 and remained until 4 April 1993. I was wounded twice while in Srebrenica, once very seriously in the right arm by a mine when I was in Sase. <a href="http://srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.ca/2009/01/in-memoriam-dr-nedret-mujkanovic.html"><span style="color: blue;">Dr. Nedret </span></a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.ca/2009/01/in-memoriam-dr-nedret-mujkanovic.html"><span style="color: blue;">Mujkanovic</span></a> performed surgery on my arm and saved it. Another time I was wounded by shrapnel while in the Potocari area. Again Dr. Nedret Mujkanovic performed surgery, now much better, because of the airdrops which included medical equipment. After <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko1wp57EtLE&feature=share&list=PL5t9KH1zAHxDpIiB0ocloloKG-JH-mm1z"><span style="color: blue;">Tony Birtley, a reporter with ABC</span></a> who was present in the enclave for some of the same time as me, was seriously wounded in the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">leg (Dr. Nedret Mujkanovic saved his leg by very skilful surgery), we were evacuated from the enclave by helicopter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">5. I experienced a great deal in Srebrenica. It was so traumatic that I remember, towards the end of my stay, seeing the corpse of a young Bosnian who had been killed by shelling after a broken peace-fire. His head had been blown completely open. At that time, seeing him, I literally envied him his release from all the suffering in Srebrenica. Srebrenica at that time was a hell and it is </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">impossible for anyone who was not there at the time to imagine what the people there endured.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">6. I took many photographs during my stay in Srebrenica. Unfortunately, a soldier from UNPROFOR accidentally took my bag with 18 rolls of undeveloped film out of the enclave and the film was confiscated by the Serbs. Although, through various channels, I subsequently managed to buy back some of the pictures that I took, a great deal of photographic evidence of conditions of life in Srebrenica in early 1993 was lost, due to the Serbian Military's confiscation of my work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">7. Attached at Annex B is a photograph that I took in Kravica either in late February or early March 1993. I am informed that this is Prosecution Exhibit P460. I remember that the photograph was taken then, as I was on my way somewhere with the people in the picture when the photograph was taken, and I am aware that that was in late February or early March 1993. Kravica, I understand, fell on 7 January 1993 and I did not even arrive in Srebrenica until a month after then.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dnevni Avaz — Mirsada Dizdarević iz Višegrada, kao četverogodišnja djevojčica, 13. septembra 1992. godine, u vrijeme krvavog pira zločinaca u ovom gradu na Drini, istrgnuta je iz majčinog naručja i odvedena u Beograd. Žrtva je zločina – ratne otmice djece – za koji se nikome još nije sudilo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bol i patnja</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bilo joj je namijenjeno da bude pokrštena i usvojena, kao i nepoznatom broju djece koja su oteta od roditelja tokom agresije na BiH i odvedena u Srbiju. Mirsada je u Srbiji provela nekoliko godina u centru za nezbrinutu djecu. No, njena do sada neispričana priča samo pukom srećom i predanošću njene majke Dude otišla je u drugom smjeru.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ova danas 24-godišnja djevojka sad živi u Sarajevu s majkom, i dalje se boreći s teškim psihičkim traumama zbog onoga što je preživjela i odvojenosti od majke. U ekskluzivnoj ispovijesti Mirsada i njena majka Duda kažu da nikada neće zaboraviti dan kada su razdvojene. Mirsada mnogo manje govori, ali majka se sjeća svakog detalja.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Sjećam se tog dana, ostala mi je slika krvavih ulica Višegrada – kaže Mirsada, koja dijeli sudbinu više od pola miliona nezaposlenih Bosanaca i Hercegovaca.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Majka Duda kaže da su četnici, kada su joj uzeli kćerku, ubili sve u njoj.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Srpski vojnici palili su kuće po Višegradu. Bosa sam istrčala na ulicu s djetetom u naručju da nas žive ne zapale. Domalo se ispred mene zaustavio crveni automobil u kojem je bio vojnik. Rekao mi je da sjednem u auto i odvezao me u zgradu zavoda, gdje su bila smještena djeca s posebnim potrebama. Nakon dva mjeseca došla su dvojica muškaraca, jedan vojnik s puškom i jedan iz Crvenog krsta. Rekli su da Mirsadu vode u dom u Beograd. Plakala sam i molila ih da mi je ne uzimaju, ali jesu – prisjeća se Duda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Od tog dana Duda nije spavala noćima. Pitala se šta je s njenom Mirsadom, je li živa, ima li šta jesti…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Poslije nekoliko mjeseci saznala sam da je živa, ali se nisam smirila. Jedina misao bila mi je kako doći do nje. U Crvenom krstu su mi obećali da će je dovesti. Kupila sam igračke i s djecom od sestre čekala svoju ljepoticu – kaže Duda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ponovni susret</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mirsadu je u Beogradu pronašla polusestra Habiba, koja je bila udata za Srbina. Iako se toga u potpunosti ne sjeća, Mirsada je jedno vrijeme provela u kući Habibe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No, Mirsada kaže da je trpjela strahote i od Habibinog muža te je ponovo vraćena u dom. Jedna porodica je, kako navodi, dolazila u dom s namjerom da je usvoji i pokrsti, no odustali su kada su saznali da joj je majka živa. Za to vrijeme Duda je patila i čekala da joj vrate kćerku. Posredstvom Crvenog krsta Mirsada je vraćena majci krajem 1995. godine. No, ponovni je susret s Mirsadom, koja je tada imala već skoro osam godina, donio je novu traumu. Duda kaže da joj je to bio najteži trenutak u životu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Kad se našla ispred mene, nisam je prepoznala. Bila je velika, nije više bila malo dijete. Zvala sam je da mi dođe, nije htjela. Nije me prepoznala. Govorila sam joj da sam ja njena majka. Plakala je i bježala od mene. Davala sam joj igračke, ali je odbijala da mi priđe. Bol koju sam tada osjetila neizbrisiva je, uništila me – sjeća se Duda.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Članak američke novinarke</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">O Mirsadinom slučaju je još 1992. godine pisala američka novinarka Nina Bernštajn (Bernstein), koja ju je pronašla u Beogradu 29. avgusta 1992. godine. U svom članku je napisala:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- “Bilo je previše krvi”, govorila je Mirsada bojeći čitav list papira crvenom bojom. Pritiskala je crvenu bojicu na papir. Prstima je prelazila preko papira, noktima stružući boju. “Vidjela sam kamion. Moja majka bila je u njemu, trčala sam za njim i plakala, ali se nije zaustavio. Vojnici su je odveli.” Jednom od vojnika je rekla: “Oni ljudi tamo su svi ludi.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Seška Stenojlović iz Helsinškog odbora za ljudska prava u Srbiji otkrila je "Avazu" detalje o njihovom usvajanju u hraniteljske porodice u Beogradu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Bebe u domu</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Vidjela sam te bebe kada su ih doveli u dom. Niko nije znao njihova prava muslimanska imena. Data su im srpska, morali su ih nekako zavesti. Do 1998. godine pod ingerencijom doma "Zvečanska" bili su i Nikolica i Veljović. Te bebe usvojile su prije 15 godina hraniteljske porodice - kaže Stenojlović. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Prema posljednjim informacijama do kojih je došla Stenojlović, hraniteljice ove djece su u međuvremenu umrle, a djeca su s članovima njihovih porodica, najvjerovatnije, napustila Srbiju, čime se izgubio i njihov trag. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Žena kod koje je Dragana bila zvala se Veselinka Marjanović, ali je umrla. Važno je istaći da i Dragana i Goran znaju, zasigurno, svoje porijeklo, da su iz BiH. To se od njih nije skrivalo. Neformalno sam saznala da je Nikolicu iz centra usvojila penzionisana učiteljica iz Beograda. Ta žena je također umrla - kaže Stenojlović. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Prema nezvaničnim informacijama do koji je došla Stenojlović, Goran Nikolica je sada u Bosni.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- U Višegradu su njihovi srodnici, neko se mora sjetiti da je u to vrijeme među porodicom imao mušku bebu od deset mjeseci koju su tada izgubili i djevojčicu od godinu i tri mjeseca - kaže Stenojlović, dodajući da su možda njihovi roditelji živi. </span></div>

Ona ističe kako je očito da je bilo dosta slučajeva odvođenja djece iz BiH u Srbiju.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Mi ne znamo koji je broj te djece. To je, svakako, tema kojoj tek predstoji istraživački rad. Potreban je cijeli tim koji bi se samo bavio istraživanjem tragova gdje su ta djeca na kraju završila. Oni sada imaju najmanje 20 godina, neka od njih i više. To je jedan vrlo zahtjevan posao. Vjerovatno mnoga od te djece i ne znaju ko su i šta su - priča Biserko.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Predsjednica Udruženja "Žena-žrtva rata" Bakira Hasečić pokrenula je priču o nestaloj djeci iz BiH koja su odvedena u Srbiju nakon što su im roditelji ubijeni u ratu ili odvedeni u logore. Aktivisti Udruženja uspjeli su nakon dvije decenije doći do nekadašnje socijalne radnice u Crvenom križu Jugoslavije Nevenke Uzelac, koja im je otkrila detalje o prebacivanju samo neke djece iz Višegrada u Beograd.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Djeca su odvođena u Srbiju i primana u prihvatne centre. Nekima je promijenjen identitet i pokrštavana su. Znamo da su se izdavale krštenice za njih - kazala je Uzelac, koja je prošle godine posjetila Udruženje i Bakiri Hasečić otkrila da je u Srbiji vidjela prihvatne centre gdje je bilo mnogo djece iz BiH. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hasečić apelira na institucije BiH da pomognu kako bi se doznala istina o nestaloj bosanskoj siročadi koja se nalazi u Srbiji.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Večernji list -- Još nisam potpuno svjesna što se događa. Lijepo je oko sebe imati obitelj. Odrasla sam s dvije osobe, a sada znam da ima mnogo ljudi koji me vole, koji su sve ove godine vjerovali da sam živa“, ovim riječima je Senida Bećirović iz sela Capardi kod Kalesije opisala svoje osjećaje nakon što se, nakon punih 16 godina života u Beogradu pod imenom Mila Janković kod staratelja Živka i Živane Janković, susrela s biološkim ocem Muhamedom Bećirovićem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Podsjećanja radi, 1992. godine srpske postrojbe odvele su njegove suprugu Senadu (1967.) i dvije kćeri Sandu (1988.) i Senidu (1991.). Sanda je tada imala četiri, a Senida jednu godinu. Muhamed je nestanak žene i kćeri prijavio Crvenom križu. Dao je i krv za DNK analizu za potrebe identifikacije u slučaju da njegovu obitelj ekshumiraju iz neke masovne grobnice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ipak, Muhamed, koji danas živi i radi u Njemačkoj, uspio je nakon 16 godina pronaći mlađu kćer Senidu. U svibnju prošle godine dobio je poziv iz Beograda. Rečeno mu je da je pronađena jedna kćer i da je živa. U Beogradu je Muhamed pronašao Senidu, koju su kao usvojeno dijete othranili Živan i Živka Janković. Senida Bećirović je odrastala pod imenom Mila Janković. I DNK analiza, koja je urađena u Novom Sadu, potvrdila je da je Mila zapravo Senida.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Šokantna životna priča</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Senida danas živi u Sarajevu kod tetke Šuhre Omerović iz Sarajeva, inače majčine sestre. Nakon telefonskog poziva nije bila raspoložena za razgovor, posebice o njezinoj majci i sestri, za koje se nada da su žive. “Nada uvijek postoji, ali mi je o tome u ovom trenutku doista teško govoriti”, kaže Senida. Trenutno je okupirana učenjem u srednjoj grafičkoj školi u Sarajevu. Senidina je želja da se nakon završene srednje škole počne baviti dizajnom, dakako uz dodatno usavršavanje na nekom od fakulteta ili viših škola grafičke struke.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">No, najveća joj je želja posjetiti oca koji živi u Njemačkoj. Prije izvjesnog vremena dobila je i CIPS-ovu osobnu iskaznicu sa stalnim boravkom u Sarajevu. Uskoro će dobiti i bh. putovnicu te će joj se na ljeto konačno ispuniti želja da posjeti oca u Njemačkoj. Inače, šokantna životna priča ove djevojke počela je u svibnju 1992. Tada je imala samo devet mjeseci. Iz kuće u Capardama, sela koje je okupirala srpska vojska, odnio ju je jedan vojnik. Otada sve do svibnja prošle godine, kada se prvi put susrela s ocem, ni o njoj ni o njezinoj majci Senadi i starijoj sestri Sandi obitelj ništa nije znala. “Znala sam da mi Živko i Živana Janković nisu pravi roditelji. To su mi od početka govorili i drago mi je zbog toga. Imala sam lijepo djetinjstvo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Puno su mi pomogli u životu i dan danas mi pomažu. I gdje god da budem bila, nikad ih neću zaboraviti”, priča Senida. Kaže da se Jankovićima godinama javljalo puno ljudi tvrdeći da su njeni roditelji. “Zvali su iz Slovenije, Mađarske, Makedonije… Živko i Živana nikada nisu pravili probleme iako ih je sve to emotivno pogađalo. Govorili su, ako se dokaže da su to moji roditelji, uvijek možeš otići k njima”, govori Senida.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nada nikada ne umire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">O tome kako je dospjela u dom Jankovića u Beogradu, koji su izgubili dva sina u prometnoj nesreći, zna iz onoga što joj je ispričala Živana. “Ona mi je ispričala da me vojnik našao u kući, u kolijevci, odnio me svojoj majci u Vlasenicu, koja se zvala Ruža. Rekla mi je da su me u početku zvali Ruža, po njoj. Onda me Ruža dala Desi iz Centra za socijalni rad, a odatle sam otišla kod Zdravke Elez, kod koje sam bila dva mjeseca. Onda je, kako mi je Živka ispričala, u jednim dnevnim novinama objavljen je poziv za usvajanje i starateljstvo, pa su se njih dvoje javili”, prepričava Senida.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Kaže da su joj sve ispričali o njenom podrijetlu, o ratu i o BiH, tko je i odakle je. Međutim, ispočetka nije htjela tražiti bilo koga od svoje obitelji, vjerojatno iz razloga što psihički nije bila spremna. No onda je iznenada odlučila i počela tražiti oca. Otišla je u Centar za socijalni rad na Čukarici u Beogradu i odatle je sve pokrenuto. S ocem se prvi put srela u svibnju prošle godine. “Ne postoje riječi koje mogu opisati taj naš prvi susret”, kaže ova djevojka, koja se još navikava na novi život u Sarajevu. “Nadam se i da su moje mama i sestra žive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nadu nikada ne treba izgubiti, to se, evo, pokazalo i u mom slučaju. Voljela bih znati gdje su, jesu li žive. Zajedno s ocem učinit ću sve da ih pronađem”, ustrajna je Senida Bećirović. Kaže da bi željela znati što se dogodilo s njezinom majkom i sestrom, ali i upoznati srpskog vojnika koji ju je 1992. uzeo iz kolijevke i na taj način je spasio sigurne smrti. Iako se ni dandanas ne zna ime vojnika koji ju je spasio, prema nekim izvorima navodno živi u SAD-u, a prema drugim je nakon tog događaja poginuo. No, jedno je sigurno – ako je živ, Senida bi ga uistinu željela upoznati.</span></div>

</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Dnevni Avaz -- Četvero bošnjačke djece iz Višegrada, uzrasta između deset mjeseci i sedam godina, 13. septembra 1992. godine dovedena su u Centar za zaštitu djece i omladine "Zvečanska" u Beograd, a kasnije data hraniteljskim porodicama, potvrdila je za "Dnevni avaz" Jasminka Marković, sociolog iz ovog centra.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Naš list je ranije objavio priču o tome kako su početkom agresije iz Višegrada, ali i iz drugih gradova istočne Bosne, djeca uzimana od roditelja i vođena u Srbiju, gdje su pokrštavana i davana na usvajanje. Slučaj Dude i Mirsade Dizdarević, o kojem smo pisali, jedan je od rijetkih u kojem je majka uspjela vratiti svoje dijete. Većina roditelja nije, a ni mnogo roditelja nije preživjelo zločine u istočnoj Bosni. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Marković, kako nam je rekla, nije mnogo znala o djeci koja su dovedena u Centar, ali ističe da su znali da su iz BiH te da se nije mnogo raspitivala. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Navodno su djecu odveli Gilbert Despić (Despich), bivši francuski industrijalac koji je radio kao volonter za humanitarnu organizaciju, a u tome su mu pomogli socijalna radnica Crvenog križa Nevenka Uzelac i jedan srpski vojnik. U dokumentima koje su predali nadležnima u Centru, kaže Marković, stajalo je da su roditelji dvije bebe, dječaka od deset i djevojčice od petnaest mjeseci, "nepoznati". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Marković tvrdi da su dvije bebe dovedene pod imenima Goran Nikolica i Dragana Veljović te da niko nije znao njihov pravi identitet. Sve što su znali jeste da su iz Višegrada i da su bošnjačka djeca. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Sjećam se da su nam ti ljudi doveli trojicu dječaka i jednu djevojčicu. Osim Gorana i Dragane, u dom smo smjestili i braću Gušo, Emira (7) i Elvina (4). Znali smo da su muslimanska djeca, tako smo ih i registrovali - tvrdi Marković. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Prema njenim riječima, djeca su bila vidno uplašena kada su ih zaposlenici preuzeli i smjestili u ovu ustanovu zajedno s ostalim korisnicima koji su tu boravili iz Srbije. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Rečeno nam je da su Goran i Dragana siročad iz BiH i da su ih vojnici našli ispod nekog mosta te da su bili prepušteni sami sebi. Iako su bili mali, na njima se vidjelo da su uplašeni, stalno su plakali. Pružili smo im potrebnu zaštitu - tvrdi Marković. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nakon dvije godine provedene u Centru, djeca su odvedena u hraniteljske porodice. Iz Centra tvrde da o toj djeci, nakon što su otišla iz doma, nemaju nikakvih informacija. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">- Mi korisnicima, kada su kod nas, pružamo zaštitu, ali ne odlučujemo o njihovoj sudbini. O izbjegličkoj populaciji nismo imali poseban dosje, jer to nije bila populacija koju mi redovno zbrinjavamo. To je bila naša privremena funkcija - ističe Marković.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Uzelac navodi da je petero djece pronašla u katastrofalnom stanju u domu za mentalne bolesnike i, uz pomoć Gilberta Despića (Despich), bivšeg francuskog industrijalca koji je radio kao volonter za humanitarnu organizaciju, prevela ih preko granice te ih smjestila u Centar za zaštitu djece i omladine "Zvečanska" u Beogradu.</span></span></div>

Žena s najvećim oštećenjem mozga ležala je na podu zaključane sobe u vlastitom izmetu. Drugi su imali tuberkulozu, nekontrolisane napade... Usred svega toga bilo je petero djece između 10 mjeseci i sedam godina, koje su u ustanovu ostavile lokalne srpske vlasti, te smo ih mi odveli u Beograd - prisjeća se Uzelac. </span></span></div>

<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roughly half the dead were civilians, while 82 percent of those were Bosnian Muslims (known as Bosniaks). Some 10,000 women were killed, again the majority Bosniaks. Of 24,000 Serb dead, 20,000 were soldiers.</b></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mirsad Tokaca calls it the "crowning achievement" of 10 years of painstaking research - thousands of grey pages bearing the names of 95,940 victims of the Bosnian war, where they died and when.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Published last month, war crimes researchers say <i>The Bosnian Book of the Dead</i> represents the most comprehensive statistical analysis yet of the bloodshed in Bosnia after federal Yugoslavia fell apart at the close of the 20th century.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Tokaca, 58, it's the ultimate answer to political leaders across the countries carved from Yugoslavia who still dispute the crimes committed, the numbers killed and who bore the blame when their joint state collapsed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"You can't deny the crime if you determine the exact number of victims," the former journalist and businessman told Reuters. "Nobody has done anything like this. It's unique."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rights activists say an accurate picture of what went on in the Bosnian, Croatian and Kosovan wars of the 1990s is vital to the slow process of reconciliation in the Balkans, a region still scarred but seeking to join the European mainstream.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The European Union's external borders will reach Bosnia in July, when neighboring Croatia becomes the bloc's 28th member.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the book, whose title recalls the funerary texts that ancient Egyptians believed guided the deceased in the afterlife, almost never came about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For years, a state commission tasked with gathering data on war crimes was starved of funding by Bosnia's central government, an uneasy alliance of the Serb, Croat and Bosniak former warring sides.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With thousands of files at risk of falling into disrepair, Tokaca, a former member of the commission, established the Identification and Documentation Centre and launched the book project in 2003 with the help of foreign donors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">SHUNNED BY THE STATE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He took on the records, but was shunned by the state when he asked for funding to continue the research, "probably because they couldn't dictate what it would look like," he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amid a row with donors over how the money was being spent, the book was finally published with the help of the Belgrade-based Humanitarian Law Centre, run by Serbian rights campaigner Natasa Kandic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"The (Bosnian) state was never interested in taking on that huge documentation," Kandic told Reuters in Belgrade. "If it wasn't for Tokaca, I believe the files would have fallen apart."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The book's four hardback volumes list almost 100,000 dead, civilian and military, in alphabetical order, their ethnicity, and when and where they died. It provides a chilling picture of the 1992-95 Bosnian war.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Roughly half the dead were civilians, while 82 percent of those were Bosnian Muslims (known as Bosniaks). Some 10,000 women were killed, again the majority Bosniaks. Of 24,000 Serb dead, 20,000 were soldiers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The facts do not alter the narrative of the war as accepted in the West.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But it is another part of a campaign by the likes of Kandic and Tokaca to reconcile Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks around a common view of what went on when Bosnian Serb forces, with the backing of Belgrade, seized and "ethnically cleansed" swathes of Bosnia after it voted to secede from Yugoslavia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They laid siege to the once multi-ethnic capital Sarajevo for 43 months, killing, according to the book, 14,000 people. Croatia, too, helped foment the fighting on behalf of the Bosnian Croats.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kandic said a similar project was underway in Kosovo and another planned in Croatia, with the aim of creating a complete registry of the dead from Yugoslavia's collapse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It will be a first in the history of the Balkans and the world, and we will know what our legacy is," Kandic said. "Names close down the room for manipulation of numbers, for minimizing other victims and inflating one's own."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">CONFLICTING NARRATIVES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tokaca's research had already halved the estimated number of Bosnian war dead from an earlier figure of 200,000, stirring controversy in a country still hamstrung by ethnic division and conflicting narratives of the conflict.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides the book's 95,940 dead, another 5,100 are named but the circumstances of their deaths have yet to be established.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tokaca, a Bosniak, said he believed the book would serve as a model for other conflict regions such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria, which is in the grips of an increasingly sectarian conflict often compared to Bosnia in its complexity and big-power inertia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Without an accurate picture of the human toll, Tokaca believes reconciliation is impossible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"You can't preach against war and explain to people what war is without demonstrating the price of war in terms of human lives alone," he said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On June 2, 1993, Serbia submitted (now entirely discredited) <b>propaganda report</b> to the United Nations entitled: <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.ca/2007/10/dissecting-serbian-propaganda.html"><span style="color: blue;">"<i>Memorandum on War Crimes and Crimes of Genocide in Eastern Bosnia (communes of Bratunac, Skelani and Srebrenica) committed against the Serbian population from April 1992 to April 1993</i>."</span></a> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;">Almost 20 years later, they are <b>using exactly the same tricks</b> to purport their propaganda as official U.N. conclusions.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Serbian extremists and genocide deniers have scheduled a debate in the United Nations General Assembly for April 2013. The topic will be the work of <i>The International Criminal Tribunal</i> that prosecuted Serbs for war crimes, crimes of mass rape, crimes against humanity and Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The debate was scheduled by a temporary UN General Assembly President, Serbian diplomat Vuk Jeremić under the direction of nationalists in Belgrade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Jeremić, as the temporary president of the UN General Assembly is authorized to draft an official UN document after the debate. The 'official' document is expected to contain Serbian perspective of wars in former Yugoslavia at the expense of facts and justice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Postavlja se pitanje, kakve koristi mi Bošnjaci imamo iz ovakvih bračnih zajednica kada se buduća pokoljenja iz tih brakova asimiliraju u druge etničke grupe? <b>Dali je nama Bošnjacima uopšte i stalo do naše kulture, tradicije, jezika, narodnosti, domovine, njegovanja i očuvanja našeg porijekla i vaspitavanja naše djece da znaju osnove svog identiteta?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mješoviti brakovi ruše etnički identitet grupe/a i sa time ugrožavaju kompaktnost iste/ih. Produkt tih mješanih brakova su <b>u većem broju slučajeva djeca koja bivaju pokštena ili imaju problema sa svojm nacionalnim identitetom</b>, jer su “neopredjeljeni”, tj. nemogu da se opredjele ni za jednu stranu; oni za sebe tvrde da su ‘<i>Bosanci</i>’ ili ‘Hercegovci’ i time smanjuju broj Bošnjaka na popisu stanovništva (<b>ovakvim pristupom Bošnjaci od relativne većine postanu manjina u etnički mješanim opštinama, a teritorij takvih opština pada u ruke Srbima i Hrvatima</b>). Stoga, Bošnjaci nemaju apsolutno nikakve koristi od onih koji se deklarišu kao “neopredjeljeni,” (ili u sličnim verzijama, “<i>Bosanci</i>”, “<i>Hercegovci</i>”, “<i>Jugosloveni</i>”, “<i>Ostali</i>” itd.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Nadasve, mješoviti brakovi vode ka asimilaciji budućih pokoljenja iz tih brakova u Srbe i Hrvate ili “neopredjeljenje”, time smanjujući broj rođenih Bošnjaka i povećavanjem broja Srba i Hrvata i ostalih. <b>A svi znamo da su Bošnjaci vitalni i ključni dio opstanka Bosne i Hercegovine.</b> Da nije bilo Bošnjaka, ne bi bilo ni Bosne i Hercegovine. Dobro je poznato da bi i Srbi i Hrvati radije živjeli u sklopu svojih ‘proširenih’ “maternjih” država (Srbije i Hrvatske) nego u sklopu države BiH <b>koju su pokušali uništiti u prethodnom ratu i pripojiti projektu <i>Velike Srbije</i> i <i>Velike Hrvatske</i></b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Na popisu stanovnistva 1991 godine, Mostar je imao oko 10% stanovnika koji su se izjasnili "<i>Jugoslaveni</i>"." To su bili egoistični Bošnjaci iz etnički mješanih brakova koji su marili samo za svoje brakove, a ne za svoju državu ili za svoju naciju. Pravo je čudo da smo uopšte i uspjeli odbraniti Bosnjačku opštinu Istočni Mostar i zadržati je u svojim rukama. <b>Ali od 1991 pa do sada, stvari u Mostaru se nisu promijenile nabolje</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Primjera radi, Nino Zelenika, 25-godišnji Mostarac, kojemu je otac Hrvat, a majka Bošnjakinja, ostao je ‘neopredjeljen.’ Nino planira otići iz Mostara kada diplomira. Evo sta on kaže: "Ne želim za 40 godina još uvijek razgovarati o tome tko je Hrvat a tko Bošnjak. Imam potrebu za normalnijim životom, a ovdje ga ne vidim ni u budućnosti.” Znači, on kao ‘neopredjeljeni’ jedva čeka da napusti BiH. Njega niti zanima očuvanje Bosne i Hercegovine niti opstanak Bošnjaka na ovim prostorima. Kakve koristi sada Bošnjaci, a i sama Bosna i Hercegovina, imaju od ljudi kao što je Nino Zelenika? Apsolutno nikakve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Uzmimo primjer Alenke Ban, tridesetčetverogodišnje Bošnjakinje iz Mostara. Njihova kći, Ornela Ban, ima 14 godina i ‘Hrvatica’ je. Pohađa hrvatsku školu, nosi hrvatsko prezime i Alenka je <b>pristala da se prekrsti premda joj je to kao muslimanki teško palo</b>. Iako postavlja pitanje zašto njezino dijete ne može biti ‘‘i jedno i drugo,” na kraju sama kaže: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">”Ne želim da bude nacionalno neopredijeljena. Znam kako je meni, vjerojatno ću do kraja života osjećati podjele i ne želim da njoj bude tako.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ispravno je pitati kakvu korist mi Bošnjaci, a i naša maternja domovina Bosna i Hercegovina, imamo iz ovakvih brakova, uzimajući u obzir da Bošnjakinje -- poput Alenke Ban -- krste i sebe i svoju djecu i voljno se asimiliraju u Hrvate? Mi smo na gubitku.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zar je Bošnjacima i nakon dva krvava rata, dva etnička čišćenja i dva genocida (1941-45 i 1992-95), još uvijek svejedno da li će oni i njihova maternja država još uvijek postojati u narednih 100 godina? Uzimajući kakvi smo neodgovorni i kako nam je sve svejedno, <b>mi vjerovatno i ne zaslužujemo da imamo državu</b>. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">A series of interviews were conducted by the investigators of the International Criminal Tribunal (ICTY) with Naser Orić between 2-6 April 2001 and 14-24 May 2001 in Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Orić was leader of the poorly armed Bosniak defense forces in the besieged Srebrenica (1992-1995). </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">According to the trial judgment of Naser Orić, "Between April 1992 and March 1993, Srebrenica town and the villages in the area held by Bosnian Muslims [Bosniaks] were constantly subjected to Serb military assaults, including artillery attacks, sniper fire, as well as occasional bombing from aircrafts. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Each onslaught followed a similar pattern. Serb soldiers and paramilitaries surrounded a Bosnian Muslim village or hamlet, called upon the population to surrender their weapons, and then began with indiscriminate shelling and shooting. In most cases, they then entered the village or hamlet, expelled or killed the population, who offered no significant resistance, and destroyed their homes. During this period, Srebrenica was subjected to indiscriminate shelling from all directions on a daily basis. Potočari in particular was a daily target for Serb artillery and infantry because it was a sensitive point in the defence line around Srebrenica. Other Bosnian Muslim settlements were routinely attacked as well. All this resulted in a great number of refugees and casualties."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

In these video interviews, Naser Oric debunks discredited Serbian propaganda and details the birth of resistance and the survival of the beleaguered Bosniak population in the besieged enclave of Srebrenica between April 1992 and July 1995. Due to bandwidth restrictions, we've decided to upload only the first 2 videos that were recorded in April 2001 and only the first 2 videos that were recorded in May 2001. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Indictment alleges that the Accused Savo Babić, who served as the Bratunac Military Police Commander, participated in a widespread and systematic attack on the Bosniak population of the municipality of Bratunac (adjoining to Srebrenica) in May 1992, three years before the Srebrenica Genocide. He ordered, committed and knowingly omitted to prevent, by his acts and omissions, the abuse of Bosniak civilians who were unlawfully deprived of their liberty in the detention camp „Vuk Karadžić" in Bratunac.</span><br />

<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Vuk Karadžić School Massacre (10 May 1992)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On 10 May 1992, the Yugoslav People’s Army, various paramilitary groups from Serbia and local Bosnian Serb forces jointly conducted one of the most violent assaults on the Bosniak population of Bratunac and the surrounding villages. Some 4,000 to 5,000 Bosniak civilians were expelled from their homes and detained in the local football stadium “Bratstvo” (Brotherhood). Serb forces stripped Bosniak civilians of their possessions and forcibly separated men from the women, killing some of them on the spot. The youngest known victim was a six month old girl, Narcisa Salihović, and the oldest a 110 year old woman, Zahida Suljagić.[43] A United Nations investigation found that some victims interned in the “Bratstvo” stadium were “forced to serve as blood donors, and some did not survive because so much blood had been withdrawn. Reportedly, the bodies of hundreds of individuals have been burned or thrown into the Drina River.”[44]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Several hundred of women and underage girls were taken from the Bratstvo stadium to the local Hotel Fontana where they were repeatedly raped. Other women and older men were herded onto buses, warned never to come back to their homes again, and forcibly expelled in the direction of the government controlled town of Kladanj.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">About 700 unarmed Bosniak men were taken to a detention camp located in the gymnasium of the Vuk Karadžić primary school. When the men arrived in the camp, they were met by the sight of mutilated detainees. The men were offered very salty food with no water. They were brutally tortured over the next few days and some 350 of them were murdered in the most sadistic ways.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Physical abuse at the camp included beatings with objects including wooden sticks, wooden poles, steel pipes, metal bars, baseball bats, rifle butts, bare fists, kicking with boots, extraction of teeth with rusty pliers and suffocation. Some prisoners were decapitated and their heads held up for all to see, then kicked around the floor. Other prisoners were forced to move bodies before eventually being killed themselves and their bodies thrown on the pile. According to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, “Witnesses claim that the bodies of those killed were butchered, with nose, ears, genitals cut off, or crosses being cut into them. Those witnesses also claim that while that was being done, they were forced to sing Chetnik songs.”[45]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The local Muslim priest Mustafa Mujkanovic, was humiliated, tortured and beaten for hours. His throat was cut open in front of other prisoners after he defiantly refused to cross himself, drink alcohol or raise three fingers in the Serb manner (he lifted only two, symbolically asserting the struggle of the Bosniak people for freedom).

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Masakr u logoru škole Vuk Karadžić (10. maj 1992)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Dana 10. maja 1992, snage Jugoslavenske narodne armije, raznih paravojnih formacija iz Srbije, te lokalne oružane horde bosanskih Srba, provele su jednu od najokrutnijih hajki na bošnjačko stanovništvo obližnjeg Bratunca i okolnih sela. Racijama su istjerali 4.000 do 5.000 bošnjačkih stanovnika iz svojih kuća, te ih zatočili u lokalnom nogometnom stadionu “Bratstvo”. Dolaskom na stadion, zatvorenici su prvo bili opljačkani, a potom razdvojeni od svojih familija – muškarci od žena – a neki su strijeljani na licu mjesta. Najmlađa žrtva srpskog terora je bila šest mjeseci stara beba, Narcisa Salihović, a najstarija 110 godina stara žena, Zahida Suljagić.[43] Prema rezultatima istrage Ujedinjenih nacija, Srbi su jedan broj Bošnjaka “prisiljavali da služe kao davaoci krvi, a neke žrtve su preminule zbog prevelikog vađednja krvi. Prema izvještaju, stotine leševa žrtava [sa stadiona i logora škole Vuk Karadžić] su spaljeni ili bačeni u rijeku Drinu.”[44]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Srbi su sa stadiona “Bratstvo”odveli nekoliko stotina žena i maloljetnih djevojaka u lokalni hotel “Fontana,” gdje su ih neprestano silovali. Ostale zarobljenike su nagurali u autobuse, zaprijetili im da se više nikada ne vraćaju nazad, zatim ih prisilno istjerali u pravcu Kladnja. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sudbina oko 700 nenaoružanih bošnjačkih muškaraca je bila posebice okrutna. Oni su jedan po jedan razdvajani od svojih familija i odvođeni u gimnastičku dvoranu Osnovne škole “Vuk Karadžić” koja je bila pretvorena u logor. Zarobljenici su bili šokirani stravičnim prizorima izubijanih i iznakaženih tijela prethodno zatočenih Bošnjaka. Svim novim zatvorenicima je ponuđena vrlo slana hrana bez vode. U sljedećih nekoliko dana, oni su brutalno mučeni, a oko 350 ih je ubijeno na najokrutnije načine moguće. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fizička zlostavljanja u logoru su vršeno premlaćivanjima sa tvrdim objektima, toljagama, motikama, čeličnim cijevima, metalnim šipkama, bejzbol palicama, kundacima od pušaka, šakama, udarcima čizmama, vađenjem zubi sa zahrđalim kliještima i davljenjima. Neki zatvorenici su bili zaklani, a njihove glave podizane u zrak i pokazivane ostalim zatočenicima. Srbi su odrupljene glave Bošnjaka šutirali po podu. Ostali logoraši su bili prisiljeni da nose tijela ubijenih izvan logora da bi na kraju i oni bili ubijeni i bačeni na tu istu hrpu leševa. Prema podacima UN Komiteta za ljudska prava, “Svjedoci tvrde da su tijela ubijenih bila iskasapljena, a nosevi, uši i spolni organi odrezani, ili su imali urezane krstove po tijelu. Ti svjedoci također tvrde da su tijekom kasapljenja bili prisiljeni da pjevaju četničke pjesme.”[45] </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Srpski zločinci su lokalnog muslimanskog imama, Mustafu Mujkanovića, satima ponižavali, mučili i tukli. Nakon što je kategorično odbio da se prekrsti, da popije alkohol i da digne tri prsta (podigao je samo dva simbolizirajući borbu bošnjačkog naroda za slobodu) četnici su ga zaklali naočigled svih zatvorenika.
