Srebrenica: The Scene of Dante’s Inferno in Europe at the End of 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 20th century, a classic armed aggression against a sovereign and independent state took place in the heart of Europe. It was the armed aggression of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, in the heart of the exact same Europe during the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 until 1995 numerous forms of crimes against humanity and international law against Bosniaks were committed by the aggressors and their internal helpers. Unable to prevent and stop killings, persecutions, exterminations and other crimes against Bosniaks, Europe stood passively and silently and watched these and such events on its soil. It is as if Europe itself did not feel the destruction it went through only 50 years before these horrific events. The scale and monstrosity of the crimes committed against Bosniaks, including the most serious form of crime - genocide, have been proven in the world’s highest courts (ICTY and International Court of Justice). However, despite clear evidence and final court verdicts, even today, the committed crimes are continuously denied and an attempt is made to equate the victim and the perpetrator. Judgments of the highest judicial instances in the world are denied and ignored, which have passed final judgments neutrally and on the basis of objective facts and evidence. Holders of political functions in the RS entity, but also in neighboring Serbia, are at the forefront of this denial and relativization of crimes. They are certainly supported by certain intellectual, cultural and other circles.
