The Bosniak elite called for the demolition of the “Peace Monument” in Srebrenica
The largest Bosniak Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in BiH called on members of its community to boycott the “Monument to Peace” erected in the city.
The Chairman of the local Assembly, Bosniak Nedib Smajic, said that if the SDA wins in the upcoming local elections, the monument will be dismantled, the Politnavigator correspondent reports.
The “Monument to Peace” was erected in Srebrenica on the occasion of the International Day of Peace and on the initiative of the West’s European overseer for BiH, the High Representative for BiH, Valentin Inzko. The initiative of the European official passed through the local Assembly, but when the monument was already installed, it caused a rather aggressive reaction from the local traffic police cell.
At the same time, the sculptural composition itself is quite harmless and represents a fountain, from the bowl of which human hands rise, holding the globe on the surface of which children dance in a circle.
“If this policy wins, this is a signal – to both Serbs and Bosnians – “we will return you to the 90s,” the mayor of Srebrenica, Serb Mladen Gruicic, commented on the Bosniaks’ attack. “We will demolish the monument, destroy the world... and this is a political statement by the chairman of the municipal Assembly, and this is a return to the 90s.”
The SDA and the Bosniak elite motivate their rejection of the monument by the fact that the monument diverts attention from the “genocide in Srebrenica” invented by Western political strategists and the memorial complex dedicated to it in Potočari (in the vicinity of the city).
In July 1995, after years of terror and provoking attacks from the Bosniak-controlled enclave of Srebrenica on Serbian villages and positions of the Republika Srpska Army, as a result of which more than 3 thousand 500 Serbs were killed by Bosniak thugs, the VRS stormed the town.
At the same time, the VRS command evacuated women and children from the city, and Serbian units shot several hundred captured Bosniaks, many of whom had the blood of the civilian Serbian population on their hands.
This allowed the West to talk about the deliberate genocide of “Muslim men and boys”; an arbitrary figure of 7 thousand victims was named, which included both those shot and all those killed in battles in this troubled region, and simply the dead and even the living, whose names were subsequently surfaced in elections and when obtaining citizenship as “refugees” abroad.
At the same time, the management of the Memorial Center in Potočari regularly makes political statements beneficial to official Sarajevo.
The Monument of Peace, the work of Croatian author Milan Torbica, was financed by Serbian philanthropist Slobodan Pavlovic.
