TENSIONS RISE IN KRAVICA VILLAGE NEAR SREBRENICA
Reading time: 5-6 minutes
Just as they did last year, local Serbs are trying again to disrupt the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide by threatening to prevent survivors and relatives of the genocide victims from visiting a massacre site of Bosniak civilians in Kravica village. Serbs are ‘angry’ because Bosniaks responded to Serb attacks by securing Kravica on Orthodox Christmas in 1993. From 1992-1995, Kravica was a heavily militarized Serb villlage from which Serbs constantly attacked neighboring Bosniak villages and the town of Srebrenica. Serbs never demilitarized around Srebrenica.
PHOTO: More than 1,000 Bosniak men, children, and elderly were taken to this warehouse in Kravica and killed by Serb paramilitaries during the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. Three years earlier – in 1992 – at least 927 Bosnian Muslims were slaughtered by Serbs from heavily militarized Serb villages around Srebrenica. To put things into perspective, from 1992 – 1995 at least 24,117 Bosniaks lost their lives in the Podrinje area.
WHAT ARE THE FACTS: The inhabitants of Serb village of Kravica participated in brutal attacks on Bosnian Muslim villages around Srebrenica and the town of Srebrenica in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. Kravica was a heavily militarized Serb village used to launch artillery attacks on the neighbouring Bosniak villages, as well as to terrorize Bosnian Muslim population in the besieged enclave of Srebrenica.
Due to constant Serb attacks from heavily militarized Serb villages around Srebrenica, Bosniaks finally responded to Serb attacks by counter-attacking and securing Kravica on January 7, 1993 – Orthodox Christmas. Just a few days earlier, Serbs from Kravica launched brutal attacks on Srebrenica.
“Between April 1992 and March 1993, Srebrenica town and the villages in the area held by Bosnian Muslims were constantly subjected to Serb military assaults, including artillery attacks, sniper fire, as well as occasional bombing from aircrafts. Each onslaught followed a similar pattern. Serb soldiers and paramilitaries surrounded a Bosnian Muslim village or hamlet, called upon the population to surrender their weapons, and then began with indiscriminate shelling and shooting. In most cases, they then entered the village or hamlet, expelled or killed the population, who offered no significant resistance, and destroyed their homes. During this period, Srebrenica was subjected to indiscriminate shelling from all directions on a daily basis. Potočari in particular was a daily target for Serb artillery and infantry because it was a sensitive point in the defence line around Srebrenica. Other Bosnian Muslim settlements were routinely attacked as well. All this resulted in a great number of refugees and casualties.”
“In comparison, it appears that the Bosnian Muslim side did not adequately prepare for the looming armed conflict. There were not even firearms to be found in the BosnianMuslim villages, apart from some privately owned pistols and hunting rifles; a few light weaponswere kept at the Srebrenica police station.”
“The fighting intensified in December 1992 and the beginning of January 1993, when Bosnian Muslims were attacked by Bosnian Serbs primarily from the direction of Kravica and Ježestica. In the early morning of the 7 January 1993, Orthodox Christmas day, Bosnian Muslims attacked Kravica, Ježestica and Šiljkovići. Convincing evidence suggests that the village guards were backed by the VRS [Bosnian Serb Army], and following the fighting in the summer of 1992, they Received military support, including weapons and training. A considerable amount of weapons and ammunition was kept in Kravica and Šiljkovići. Moreover, there is evidence that besides the village guards, there was Serb and Bosnian Serb military presence in the area. The Trial Chamber is not satisfied that it can be attributed solely to Bosnian Muslims. The evidence is unclear as to the number of houses destroyed by Bosnian Muslims as opposed to those destroyed by Bosnian Serbs. In light of this uncertainty, the Trial Chamber concludes that the destruction of property in Kravica between 7 and 8 December 1992 does not fulfil the elements of wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages not justified by military necessity.”
“Between June 1992 and March 1993, Bosnian Muslims raided a number of vllages and hamlets inhabited by Bosnian Serbs, or from which Bosnian Muslims had formerly been expelled. One of the purposes of these actions was to acquire food, weapons, ammunition and military equipment. Bosnian Serb forces controlling the access roads were not allowing international humanitarian aid – most importantly, food and medicine – to reach Srebrenica. As a consequence, there was a constant and serious shortage of food causing starvation to peak in the winter of 1992/1993. Numerous people died or were in an extremely emaciated state due to malnutrition.”

PHOTOS: PREPARATIONS FOR THE 14TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SREBRENICA GENOCIDE
BACKGROUND: Serbs from heavily militarized villages around Srebrenica had terrorized Srebrenica population and constantly attacked neighbouring Bosnian Muslim villages from 1992-1995. In July 1995 the Bosnian Serb army staged a brutal takeover of Srebrenica and its surrounding area, where they proceeded to perpetrate genocide. Bosnian Serb soldiers separated Bosniak families, forcibly expelled 25,000-30,000 people, summarily executed at least 8,372 boys, men, and elderly, and dumped them into mass graves.
Meanwhile, last preparations for the funeral of victims are being performed in Visoko. Remains of the victims will be transported to Sarajevo, and then to the final resting peace at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potocari.
MIDHAT SALIHOVIC ARRESTED AND RELEASED
PHOTO: In April 1992, photojournalist Ron Haviv (video) photographed evidence of Serbs committing Bosnian Genocide and killing Bosniak civilians in the town of Bijeljina.
It is important to note that RS planned and organized the 1995 Srebrenica genocide and they have no authority to make bogus claims about alleged war crimes of Bosniaks. Instead, they should worry about crimes that Serbs, from heavily militarized Serb villages around Srebrenica, committed against hundreds of Bosniak villages in the area, including numerous massacres and widespread ethnic cleansing against the Bosnian Muslim population of Podrinje in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. After having been questioned, Midhat Salihovic was released from custody.
According to the NGOs, Salihović, who lives in Sweden, had traveled to Potočari to attend the funeral of his father and brother, both victims of the genocide, and was arrested on Saturday on a warrant issued by the Bijelina District Court, where he is suspected of war crimes against the Srebrenica Serbs.
Following the arrest of Salihovic, survivors associations from Srebrenica threatened to cancel this year’s 14th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.
Munira Subasic, President of the Association of “Mothers of Srebrenica and Zepa Enclaves, said the associations would submit a request to the Prosecution and Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, calling on them to “take over all cases and suspects” from the Srebrenica and eastern Bosnia areas, because local courts “have nothing to do with them”.
“Secondly, we request the Parliament of Bosnia and Herzegovina to render a decision declaring July 11 as a day of mourning. In other words, we call on it to adopt the Resolution already adopted by the European Parliament. The fact that the flag will be lowered in front of the European Parliament building on July 11, while one Entity in our country will mourn and the second one will celebrate is shameful,” Subasic told Justice Report.
A joint statement from Women in Black (Belgrade), JUKOM, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia and the Youth Initiative for Human Rights expresses “anger“ over “this cynical and criminal move by the Bijelina court.“
The NGOs focused their anger on the Republic of Srpska (RS) authorities, headed by Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, and the Bijelina courts, who, “instead of going after criminals, are persecuting the survivors of the genocide.“
Neither do the Serbian authorities nor President Boris Tadić escape the NGOs’ wrath, who, they say, “continue to work towards a relativization of the criminal past and display full understanding for Milorad Dodik’s criminal policy.“
The NGOs also criticize the international community for “tolerating Milorad Dodik’s secessionist and, essentially, belligerent policy,“ which “does nothing to bring its powers in Bosnia-Herzegovina to bear on eliminating sources of future wars and future genocides.“
In the statement, the NGOs call on the Serbian authorities “to at least distance themselves from the aggressive and dangerous policy“ of the RS, and urge the international community to work energetically to prevent attempts to equate crimes and victims, and to put a stop to the dangerous policies pursued by Dodik and the remaining RS political forces.
“On behalf of all the citizens of Serbia who have not lost their human dignity, we once again voice our solidarity with the families of the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica, as well as our resolve never to forget the crimes perpetrated in our name,“ the statement stresses.
The Bosnian prosecution announced today that Salihović, whom the RS authorities arrested two days ago on suspicion of crimes committed against Serbs in Srebrenica, had not been detained on a Bosnian warrant, nor had that institution issued a warrant for his arrest.
The Bosnian prosecution added that members of the Bosnian border police had arrested Salihović at the Orašje border crossing on Saturday, on a warrant issued by the Bijelina District Court.
SERBS CELEBRATE, BOSNIAKS BURY GENOCIDE VICTIMS

Now, it’s ethnically cleansed town controlled by Serbs who organized numerous massacres against the local Bosniak population in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
While family and friends of the Srebrenica genocide victims spend time grieving and burying more than 500 DNA-identified victims this July 11th, Serbs in the nearby Ljubovija Municipality will celebrate “Drinska Regatta” along the River Drina, reports Sarajevo Daily Dnevni Avaz.
According to the Bosniak Representative Šefket Hafizović, Vice-President of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska, this is just another indicator of how the official policy of Belgrade failed to distance itself from the regime of Slobodan Milosevic.
“They never departed from Milosevic’s policy. Criminals return to the place where they committed crime – this time not to grieve, but to celebrate genocide. And all this happens at the same time when the democratic world, throughout Europe, is honoring victims of the genocide in accordance with the European Parliament’s Srebrenica Genocide Resolution… the resolution which proclaimed 11th of July as a Day of Commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide throughout the European Union (EU). At the same time, followers of Slobodan Milosevic will organized a party on the River Drina,” said Hafizovic.
Families of the genocide victims feel bitter. They feel that the act of organizing this regatta on the day when the Srebrenica genocide victims will be buried is nothing more than a carefully planned provocation to cause anger among relatives and survivors of the genocide.
“This is a great shame and one more humiliation, among many humiliations that families of genocide victims and survivors have to go through. Serbs will rejoice in celebrations when we – mothers, and other people of conscious – cry? Obviously, they are still looking forward to the crimes they committed in 1995,” said Munira Subasic, president of the Association “Mothers of Enclaves Srebrenica and Žepa.”

BOSNIAN JEW SVEN ALKALAJ WANTS SREBRENICA GENOCIDE MEMORIALS TO BE HELD EVERY MONTH
The most prominent Bosnian Jew, Sven Alkalaj, is a proven friend of the Srebrenica genocide victims and survivors. Sven Alkalaj is a man of honor and integrity.
Alkalaj met with the Mayor of Srebrenica and discussed the current and planned projects in Srebrenica.
He also paid a visit to the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial and laid flowers in remembrance of 8,372 victims of genocide and 30,000 people that were forcibly expelled from Srebrenica in July 1995. As he said, he regularly pays tribute to the victims of genocide in Srebrenica. He called for the Srebrenica genocide memorials to be held every single month, and not just once per year.
Serb Abuse of Foreign Aid to Srebrenica
Alkalaj promised that Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the coming period will help the municipality of Srebrenica, in cooperation with foreign factors through various development projects.
“For us it is extremely important to start the international negotiations for the compensation of the sunken land Bajina Basta [caused by Serbia’s hydro projects on the Drina River], which would – in this case – mean a lot for our budget,” said Suljić. Alkalaj will push for the restart of negotiations so Bosniaks can be compensated for sunken farm land.
