Another Crime Without Punishment? Who Even Remembers the Suffering of Serbs in Central Podrinje and Birac?!
Does anyone even pay attention to the suffering of Serbs in Central Podrinje and Birac 33 years ago? The president of the Veterans Organization of Republika Srpska, Radan Ostojić, reminded the world today at a conference in Belgrade about yet another crime that remains unpunished. Yes, you read that right – no justice!
A Crime That Must Not Be Forgotten
Ostojić clearly stated that we have a global duty to nurture a culture of remembrance and pass the truth to younger generations. We must not allow history to be rewritten or forgotten. What happened? The Serbian people in Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered more than any other people in the region, and justice for those victims has never come.
33 Years Later – Same Pain, Same Silence
Do you know how many years have passed? 33 years! That’s how long the silence about executions and crimes against Serbs in Central Podrinje and Birac has lasted. No answers, no punishments, no justice. Just pain and memories cherished in silence.
Why Is This Happening?
Is it possible that the world still turns a blind eye to these crimes? Is it possible that history repeats itself but the truth is hidden? Ostojić urged that we must not allow historical revisionism and that it is our duty to fight for justice.
Culture of Remembrance – Our Greatest Fight
This is not just a story about the past. It’s a call to action, to memory, to fight against oblivion. If not us, who? If not now, when?
Conclusion
The suffering of Serbs in Central Podrinje and Birac is yet another of many crimes without punishment. But that doesn’t mean we should stay silent. The truth must come out, and justice must be served.
And you? Did you know about this crime? Or are you also one of those who stay silent? Share your thoughts, because silence is complicity!
