Thirty years later: Srebrenica for beginners

Even thirty years after the great slaughter in Srebrenica, it is obvious that many people in Serbia still do not understand what happened there. And the regime of Aleksandar Vučić is doing everything possible to forget the crime, or to show it in a horrible way. That's why we are once again publishing the reconstruction of the events of Dejan Anastisejivić for everyone who wants to know the truth

How the Vučić regime "saves" the Serbs from Srebrenica

The government in Serbia has denied the genocide in Srebrenica at least forty times - only during the last year. This is how we got to the point where anyone who mentions the massacre of Muslims in Srebrenica is accused of declaring all Serbs to be genocidal people.

What is taught in Serbian schools about Srebrenica?

In recent years, Serbian textbooks have paid more attention to the 1990s, but in the "wrongest possible way". In the case of Srebrenica, the intention is so obvious to "deny the genocide or completely relativize what happened"

Does the UN resolution mean anything to those who still live in the "ghost town"

It is only a symbolic gesture and satisfaction for the victims. Because the UN certainly bears part of the responsibility for the genocide in Srebrenica. We must be aware that nothing in particular will change, especially in Srebrenica, believes a resident of this place who survived July 11, 1995. However, one Serb says that only one side cannot be to blame, and that those who were killed have a name and last name and they should match, no matter what their name is

Vucic in New York: Defense of the indefensible for internal use

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani alternately denied responsibility for the poor situation of Serbs in Kosovo on Monday evening at the UN Security Council. Serbian media interpret Vučić's statements differently, for one it is Serbia in a "diplomatic offensive", while others believe that the government is using the opportunity to "Serbize". The UN General Assembly will vote on the Resolution on Srebrenica

North Macedonia is also a co-sponsor of the UN resolution on Srebrenica

More than 17 countries supported the adoption of the United Nations resolution calling for July 11 to be declared the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrnica Genocide in 1995. North Macedonia became one of the co-sponsors of the resolution and invited Serbia to support it. Serbian officials, on the other hand, are outspoken in denying accusations of genocide and claim that this resolution would open "Pandora's Box".

Comment

Why is the undisputed draft of the UN Resolution on Srebrenica controversial

The current Serbian government would have to be the first to welcome the proposal made by the United Nations to declare a day of remembrance for the genocide in Srebrenica, because it would show a clear discontinuity with the regime of Slobodan Milošević, who did nothing to prevent the genocide in Srebrenica. So why doesn't he do that
