33 Years of Pain and Sorrow: Republika Srpska Declares Day of Mourning for Muslim Massacre of Serbs in Podrinje and Birac!
Can anyone still ignore the bloody past that keeps dividing us? The government of Republika Srpska has declared a Day of Mourning on the 33rd anniversary of the horrific Muslim crime against Serbs in central Podrinje and Birac. So many years have passed, yet the pain and memory do not fade – 3,267 Serbs were killed in this brutal war of defense.
What Does the Day of Mourning Mean?
Flags across Republika Srpska are lowered to half-mast today. All cultural events are canceled, and sports events are adjusted to this day of grief. This is not just a formality – it is a warning and a reminder of the price the Serbian people paid.
Why Is Remembering Important?
While the world quickly forgets, Republika Srpska does not allow crimes to be forgotten. This day is a reminder of the brutality of war and how important it is that the truth is not hidden. The 3,267 Serbs killed in Podrinje and Birac are not just numbers – they are lives, families, and futures violently cut short.
Has Justice Been Served?
Many will say no. Years pass, and wounds remain open. This day of mourning is also a call for justice, recognition, and reconciliation that cannot be based on forgetting and denial.
What Can We Learn?
That war brings only suffering. That remembering the victims is an obligation for all of us. That peace is worth more than anything. And that such tragedies must never happen again.
