Srebrenica: Vučić ponovo izražava saučešće, ali da li je to dovoljno?
Danas, na 30. godišnjicu strašnog zločina u Srebrenici, predsednik Srbije Aleksandar Vučić još jednom je, u ime građana Srbije, izrazio saučešće porodicama bošnjačkih žrtava. Na mreži X je poručio: „Ne možemo promeniti prošlost, moramo promeniti budućnost.“ Ipak, da li je ova izjava samo prazna fraza ili iskreni gest?
Političke igre i kontroverze
Dok Vučić izražava saučešće, predsednica Narodne skupštine Srbije Ana Brnabić tvrdi da u Srebrenici nije bilo genocida, već „užasan ratni zločin“. Ova izjava izaziva buru reakcija i dodatno komplikuje ionako bolnu temu.
Istovremeno, u Srbiji se i dalje relativizuju događaji iz 1990-ih, a neki političari i mediji koriste Srebrenicu za svoje političke ciljeve. Vojislav Šešelj, osuđeni ratni zločinac, najavljuje „proslavu oslobođenja Srebrenice“, što je šokantno i uvredljivo za žrtve i njihove porodice.
Suočavanje sa prošlošću – izazov za Srbiju
Istina o Srebrenici je sudski utvrđena: više od 8.000 muškaraca je ubijeno, a preko 40.000 žena i dece protjerano. Ipak, suočavanje sa ovom mračnom stranom istorije i dalje je tabu u mnogim delovima srpskog društva.
Nedostatak iskrenog priznanja i osude zločina otežava pomirenje i produbljuje podele. Političke elite često koriste ovu temu za manipulaciju, umesto da je iskoriste za izgradnju mira i poverenja.
Porodice žrtava i povratnici u Srebrenicu
Priče poput one o Marinku i Neri, bračnom paru povratnika u Srebrenicu, pokazuju koliko je teško živeti u mestu koje nosi teret prošlosti. Njihova borba za normalan život u gradu koji je nekada bio razvijen i pun života, a danas je mesto sećanja i bola, simbolizuje sudbinu mnogih.
Šta dalje?
Vučićeve reči o promeni budućnosti zvuče lepo, ali bez konkretnih koraka i iskrenog suočavanja sa prošlošću, one ostaju samo reči. Srbija i region zaslužuju istinu, pravdu i pomirenje, a ne političke igre i negiranje zločina.
Ako mislite da je vreme da se stvari menjaju, ili imate neki svoj stav o svemu ovome, bacite komentar dole. Neka se čuje glas razuma, ili bar dobar vic o politici – jer ponekad je smeh jedino što nam preostaje.
Vučić Expresses Condolences for Srebrenica Victims Again, But Controversies Persist
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the horrific Srebrenica massacre. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić once again expressed condolences on behalf of the citizens of Serbia to the families of the Bosniak victims. On platform X, he stated, “We cannot change the past, we must change the future.” But is this just empty rhetoric or a sincere gesture?
Political Games and Controversies
While Vučić expresses sympathy, Serbian National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabić claims that what happened in Srebrenica was not genocide but a “horrific war crime.” This statement sparks outrage and further complicates an already painful topic.
Meanwhile, events from the 1990s continue to be relativized in Serbia, with some politicians and media exploiting Srebrenica for political gain. Vojislav Šešelj, a convicted war criminal, even announced a “celebration of the liberation of Srebrenica,” which is shocking and offensive to victims and their families.
Facing the Past – A Challenge for Serbia
The truth about Srebrenica is legally established: over 8,000 men were killed, and more than 40,000 women and children were expelled. Yet, confronting this dark chapter remains taboo in many parts of Serbian society.
The lack of honest acknowledgment and condemnation of the crime hinders reconciliation and deepens divisions. Political elites often use this topic for manipulation rather than building peace and trust.
Victims’ Families and Returnees in Srebrenica
Stories like that of Marinko and Nera, a married couple who returned to Srebrenica, show how hard it is to live in a place burdened by the past. Their struggle for a normal life in a town once vibrant and prosperous, now a place of memory and pain, symbolizes the fate of many.
What Next?
Vučić’s words about changing the future sound nice, but without concrete steps and sincere confrontation with the past, they remain just words. Serbia and the region deserve truth, justice, and reconciliation—not political games and denial of crimes.
