A We are at a distance, dark spots look like casually thrown out dresses. We are the first outsiders who came to the place of the Crane Genocide in February 1996. The slope to the forest – dozens of corpses, half destroyed, partially in fashionable jeans and leather jackets, shirts and sneakers. Some of them are still in the pockets of shirts and jackets. Backpacks and other luggage pieces are scattered.
The dead are men from the holes who tried to get to the city of Tuzl, which was still in more than 100 km, still held by Bosnian troops. The Serbian commander Ratko Mladich came up with a devilish system. About 40,000 people were on the run from his troops, on which Dutch blue helmets, which totaled only a few hundred people, were completely powerless. Mladich ordered women and children to be transported by bus to Tuzla, controlled by the Bosnian troops.
But he wanted to set an example for men. Those who are dead will not return, in accordance with their devilish international attitude, which is aimed at the mass murder of the bosmen. In the international arena, they did not want to get a real picture of the degree of cruelty and preferred to turn a blind eye. Few politicians, scientists and journalists had an idea of what actually happened.
Other major crimes were preceded by tens of thousands of deaths in 1992. A single member of the government coalition led by Helmut Kolya: Christian Schwartz Shilling resigned in protest against the inaction of the West. He could no longer carry “nothing” to the government in the conflict of Bosnia, so the then post -minister said goodbye. No one wanted to face the truth, through the party from left to right, from Berlin to London, Washington and Paris.
Early signs of the upcoming escalation
In Germany, ideological fronts, similar today in the war in Ukraine, with realists and pacifists, have formed the same way as today. It was painful that there were also people who saw the “world” more important than sympathy for the victims at that time.
Men in the holes in 1995 immediately followed the Serbian hunting troops. Even cultural houses were cynical cynical. The victims were shown on the stage where they were killed by grenades and shots from a rifle. The next disaster was to be noticed, because the years before that there was significant information and information from secret services, according to the analysis of the Secret Service of the Foreign Service of the United States since 1991.
The war did not accidentally encounter people, but was planned for a long time. Ratko Mladich was about power and territories. For many years, he later managed to hide until he could be arrested in May 2011. Ten years later, the International Criminal Court finally issued a final sentence of imprisonment of life imprisonment.
At first, no one bothered to bury the death lying on the slope. This has changed only when it became known that representatives of the military criminal tribunal provided by the Haag for investigation at the place of harm. Since the spring of 1996, the Serbian side again tried to blur traces. The corpses in the mass graves were partially “released” to complicate their identification. Nevertheless, the UN military criminal tribunal was able to collect countless evidence in Haag.
Widow against falsification of history
International pressure has finally increased. Investigators from Sarajevo and Haga received a green light, faster and with new examination methods. US satellites photographed mass graves. The remnants of the dead were transferred to Tuzla to be verified inherited. In the end, with new methods for determining the DNA of the dead and their identification.
To date, it has been identified that they have a name, they have a story, they have a story, they discovered a work. Emir Sulzhagich, the current director of the Center for Documentation (memorial center of Srebrenaki) in Potochari, who was hired as a translator and therefore survived, looks at a huge grave field from his office. The field is located as a rose. Sulhagich is primarily proud of what the mother’s mother made.
As a correspondent, I saw desperate women on July 13, 1995 in Tuzl, as they got out of buses. All of them were deeply injured, but did not want to give up the hope of seeing their husbands again. After the war, some single women left the refugee camps back to Srebrenika. There they developed the idea of a cemetery and a memorial that informed the public about real events, and the information is that it should never have been genocide.
These women became an institution, they gave other returning courage to look at the Serbs in the eyes. They were involved in military criminal processes in the Hague, languages with ambassadors and politicians. They gradually became an important part of civil society. And they applied that the memorial was subordinated to the entire state of Bosnia and Herzegovin.
Before the war, it was peaceful to live together
Photos and personal objects of the dead can be seen in vast exhibition halls. There are also documentary interviews with survivors. These are impressive personal documents that make an important contribution to the overall picture.
Before the war, which began in Bosnia in 1992, many people had no concepts about the upcoming disaster. Srebrenica also had a mixed population. The region was economically strong, there was complete employment. People went well, they lived together peacefully. Then, however, Serbian nationalism was doomed after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Mostly Serbian regions in Croatia and Bosnia should be combined with Serbia.
In the selection of secret services, military and Serbian extremists prepares the conquest and ethnic purification of Bosnia back in 1991. On January 9, 1992, they proclaimed the Republic of Srpsk, which was supposed to take stock all areas with the dominance of Serbian dominance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In all cities and municipalities, they formed crisis rods. They collected lists of the one who should be arrested. The UN blue helmets came to the country, but they did not have a mandate from the World Security Council to prevent crimes.
History is made with the help of impudent history. What today seems quite normal, in view of the Russian propaganda, was new in accordance with the conditions at that time. Especially in Germany, they did not want to engage in mass killings and concentration camps. Not a left-green scene too. The degree of crimes in 1992 was reduced, evidence of the existence of concentration camps in the School and in other places. Genocide began with ethnic cleaning in 1992 and about 60,000 victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Many criminals remained indisputable
So why was Ratko Mladich in a cut in a cut in 1995 than in 1992? NATO bombers were already in the air to stop the advance of the Serb in the Srebenitsa, but they were ordered back. Whoever gives teams in the United Nations, and NATO made complicity. The UN did not want to defend its “safe harbor.” Only after the genocide in the cut of the voice, which previously wanted to intervene military terms. Now the course was finally established for a new foreign policy – even among the greenery, which was shown in Kosovoon in 1999.
However, the mass of the killer still lives untouched today. Ethnic cleaning should be destroyed by the Bosnian culture of life together in religions and peoples. Republica Srpska, the Serbian organization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is now also accepted by democracies as a state structure, although it is exemplary for crimes of war.
