Tomašica mass grave, where several of my family friends were found, is just few miles away from the location of this March. Imagine what it was like last night, for survivors living there….

Tonight I am in thoughts with Muslim returnees in Prijedor, who must feel frightened as hooligans chant songs hailing war criminal Ratko Mladić: "General [Mladić], we thank your mother." Tomašica mass grave, the largest in BiH, is just miles away from the location on the video. twitter.com/IstragaB/statu…

More context to what’s happening in the Balkans at the moment. In an interview for Serbian daily Novosti, Bosnian Serb separatist, Milorad Dodik calls for a union with Serbia.

Dear EU, don't say you weren't warned. In an interview for Serbian daily Novosti, Bosnian Serb separatist, Milorad Dodik calls for a union with Serbia: "The Republika Srpska entity will become independent and part of a federation with Serbia." Dodik's beating the drums of war. twitter.com/IvanEjub/statu…

Bosniak Muslims in Janja Republika Srpska Entity, were crossed with a column of cars who shot gunfire in the air, they intimidate them & shouted fascist insults. At the time they were leaving the mosque after early morning Fajr prayer. EU we need you to act, not to be worried.⤵️

The 9th January “holiday” marks the date in 1992 when Bosnian Serbs declared their own state in Bosnia, triggering a devastating four-year war and genocide. That is what is being celebrated today.

This is special unit of Republika Srpska Ministry of Interior preparing for unconstitutional 9 January Parade. In July 95 Special unit of RS Ministry of Interior killed 1300 men in Kravica, during Srebrenica genocide. Imagine Einsatzgruppen still marching in 2022. This is it.

Although Bosnia's Constitutional Court declared the “holiday” unconstitutional on November 26, 2015, celebrations have taken place every year on January 9th.

Protected by a different saint…Bosnian-Serb extremists have been manipulating religion for decades to achieve their goals of ethnic purity. Imagine if this was Muslims pervading like this and openly celebrating genocide and rape. Imagine the headlines across Europe. twitter.com/giov_vale/stat…

This is what fascists were celebrating last night & by doing so reaffirmed their commitment to repeat it. Serbian soldiers force Ramo to call for his son Nermin. Both were executed. The international community stood by & watched, the UN enabled it.

2 generations of one family wiped out. Brothers Azem, Zaim and Smajil and their sons Nermin, Fuad and Senada were killed during the Bosnian Genocide. This is what’s being celebrated today in Republika Srpska.

Razmjere genocida je najjednostavnije predstaviti kroz priču jedne porodice. Dvije generacije u jednom danu, potpuno izbrisane. Braća Pilav Azem, Zaim i Smajil, te njihovi sinovi Nermin, Fuad i Senad ubijeni su u genocidu!

More from the “holiday” parade today. “For the cross, for the cross” if I didn’t know better, I’d say these were religious extremists. Fundamentalists. Using religion to justify genocide and mass rape.

More personal reflections on the impact of genocide triumphalism. How can we leave the past when the past won’t let us leave.

These are streets of my home town, #Prijedor, streets I used to play on as a young boy before we were expelled from Prijedor. Hearing songs hailing war criminal Mladić almost 30 years later, on my streets, hurts like hell. We must not stop fighting this evil of nationalism! twitter.com/IstragaB/statu…

About two weeks ago Serbia decorated the convicted war criminal Pandurevic with a medal. The most senior officials from Serbia attended today’s ceremony in Banja Luka, Bosnia. Delegation was led by Serbian PM Ana Brnabic. tinyurl.com/yc344rsj

This is a great coverage of today's "ceremony" in Banja Luka (BL), giving it broader context. You can even find murals glorifying war criminals on kindergarten building in BL, I remember last summer friend from BL contacted to share that with me and asked for advice what to do. twitter.com/MarjoleinCK/st…

More of the same this evening. Why does celebration of genocide and fascism get unnoticed in Europe. Where is the response from the EU to remind us of rule of law, democracy and European values. If this was happening anywhere else and done by anyone else, it wouldn’t go unnoticed

Lyrics from one of the songs sung by RS entity special police units on Jan 9 - whose predecessors murdered some 1300 people in Srebrenica - openly glorify their participation in the genocide. Note also the mentions of Visegrad, Gorazde, Doboj — all major killing fields.
