Montenegro Awards Genocide Deniers on Srebrenica Remembrance Day – What a Joke!
While the entire world solemnly honors the victims of the Srebrenica genocide, Montenegro is busy making headlines for all the wrong reasons! On the very day when commemorations are held at the United Nations and the European Parliament, Montenegro hands out its highest state awards to people who openly deny the genocide! Yes, you read that right – genocide deniers are being celebrated on the day we remember the 8,000 Bosniak victims.
Reis Fejzić Calls It Out Loud
The head of the Islamic Community in Montenegro, Reis Rifet ef. Fejzić, didn’t hold back. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he bluntly stated that Montenegro awarded its highest honors to those who deny the Srebrenica genocide. While the world mourns, Montenegro cheers on the deniers – a message that has echoed across the region.
Who Are These ‘Heroes’?
Though the main article doesn’t name names, other sources reveal that among the awardees are individuals who have publicly denied or downplayed the Srebrenica genocide. This move shocks and bewilders because these are the highest state awards – the Thirteenth of July Award – which should symbolize antifascism, democracy, and respect for human rights.
What About the Rest of the World?
While Montenegro hands out these controversial awards, commemorations for genocide victims are taking place at the UN and European Parliament. Recently, the European Parliament removed the United Arab Emirates from its list of high-risk countries, but that’s a separate issue – just showing how seriously the world takes important matters.
Why Is This a Problem?
Denying genocide isn’t just a historical mistake – it’s an insult to survivors, victims’ families, and anyone who believes in justice and truth. When a state rewards such people, it sends a message that crimes can be justified or forgotten. That’s dangerous and leads to further societal division.
What’s Next?
Will Montenegro keep awarding deniers? How will this affect its international reputation? Most importantly, how will victims’ families feel? This isn’t just a political issue; it’s a moral test for the entire nation.
The Bottom Line
While the world remembers Srebrenica with sorrow and respect, Montenegro is staging a political circus by awarding genocide deniers. This isn’t just a mistake – it’s an insult and a disgrace. Got thoughts on this scandal? Maybe a joke about state awards? Drop it in the comments and let’s keep the conversation real and a little spicy!
