Historical Responsibility and the Danger of Forgetting: Miloš Vučević Demands Serbs Remember the Suffering in Central Podrinje
Do Serbs really know how much they suffered in Central Podrinje? Miloš Vučević, president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and advisor to the President of Serbia, is making sure the crimes against the Serbian people are never forgotten. At the 33rd anniversary of the Muslim crimes against Serbs in this part of Republika Srpska, Vučević sent a clear message: “Never again!”
Throughout the 20th century, there were three major attempts to completely erase the Serbian population in this region — during World War I, the atrocities committed during the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), and the Bosnian War. Yet, Vučević claims that Serbs know little about these sufferings, while more is said about other sites of tragedy. “It is neither normal nor fair to measure victims, but it is also not decent to forget your own,” Vučević said.
He appeals for more discussion about the suffering of Serbs in Central Podrinje, for it to be taught in schools, and for dignified respect to be paid to the thousands of fallen and suffering Serbs. “Nations that forget their history are doomed to repeat it,” he warned.
Vučević also emphasized the importance of mutual respect for the victims of all peoples as an act of cultural dignity. He called for remembrance and respect for those who defended and created Republika Srpska.
This message comes at a time when regional issues and memories of the past continue to stir tensions. Vučević also reminded of the suffering of Serbs in Brod on the Drina River, urging everyone not to forget these tragedies.
In short, Vučević demands that historical responsibility be taken seriously, that crimes are not forgotten, and that their repetition is prevented. Will Serbia and Republika Srpska succeed in preserving the memory of these victims and building a future without hatred?
If you have thoughts on how much is really taught about these sufferings in the region, or if you think too much or too little is said, feel free to drop a comment. Let your voice be heard — because history is not just the past, but a lesson for the future.
Miloš Vučević on the Nevesinje Uprising: Serbs Face the Danger of Internal Division
At another event in Nevesinje, Vučević reminded of the significance of the Nevesinje rifle as a symbol of Serbian independence and resistance. He warned about the danger of internal division among Serbs and called for unity and harmony as the strength of the people.
Vučević stressed that historical places like Nevesinje are beacons teaching us justice and fairness, and that remembrance of them must be nurtured to avoid future mistakes and suffering.
Together, these two events show how important it is for Serbs to remember their history but also unite in the present. Vučević clearly stated that remembering the past and respecting victims is the key to a future without conflict.
Conclusion: Memory as a Weapon Against Forgetting and Repeating Crimes
Vučević refuses to let the crimes against Serbs in Central Podrinje and other parts of Republika Srpska be forgotten. He calls for education, respect, and unity. In an era when history is often rewritten or forgotten, such messages are an important reminder that the past must not be ignored.
So, what do you think? Is enough being said about the suffering of Serbs in Central Podrinje? Or is it time to finally open all topics and hear the truth? Share your thoughts — history is our shared responsibility, and it must not be forgotten!
