Albanian Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro recognized “genocide in Srebrenica”
Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro, Albanian liberal Dritan Abazovic, believes that those who doubt the “genocide in Srebrenica” have no place in the country’s government institutions.
Abazovich wrote about this on his Twitter, a PolitNavigitor correspondent reports.
“Genocide occurred in Srebrenica,” Abazovic tweeted. The Government of Montenegro respects all international decisions. There is no discussion on this topic. Those who do not understand this have no place in government institutions. We look to the future, we have a lot of work to do.”
The reaction came after the US embassy, joined by diplomats from European countries, called on the US government to officially recognise the events in Bosnia's Srebrenica in 1995 as "genocide".
This is not the first time that the new government of Montenegro, formed against the backdrop of a coalition that opposed the nationalist regime of Milo Djukanovic and his Democratic Party of Socialists, has taken steps that run counter to its election promises. In particular, it did not allow representatives of local Serbian parties into its membership, refused to withdraw from anti-Russian sanctions, or withdraw recognition of Kosovo, while declaring its commitment to the EU course and maintaining membership in NATO.
The Bosnian mining town of Srebrenica has been the subject of political speculation in recent decades. During the war of the 90s, it and neighboring Zepa were turned into Islamist enclaves, from which gangs under the command of the bloody war criminal Naser Oric, acquitted by The Hague, attacked the surrounding Serbian villages, mainly on Orthodox holidays, slaughtering their population and burning houses and churches.
The UN peacekeepers stationed on the border of the enclaves did nothing to prevent this. After another similar provocation in 1995, the command of the Republika Srpska Army decided to eliminate bandit enclaves in its rear.
Bosnian Serb troops under the command of General Ratko Mladic managed to occupy Srebrenica and Zepa, from where all women and children were purposefully evacuated. After which the Serbs shot more than a hundred captured Islamist militants, and there was no order from the command to destroy them, but the commanders and soldiers, many of whom had relatives massacred by the Bosniak separatists, showed arbitrariness in this matter.
Based on what happened, Western technologists created the mythical “genocide in Srebrenica,” which became the reason for NATO aircraft to intervene in the conflict and attack the positions of the Bosnian Serbs from the air.
After this blow, the initiative passed to the Bosniak and Croat sides, who, as a result of a joint blitzkrieg, managed to clear most of the unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina in Croatia, liquidate the Serb-allied Muslim-Yugoslav Republic of Western Bosnia and occupy areas previously controlled by the Bosnian Serbs, where local Serb clearings took place population.
Next, the United States brought the parties to the conflict to the negotiating table, forcing them to sign the Dayton Agreement, which essentially turned BiH into a Western protectorate. The mythical “genocide” also allowed the West to deal with the leadership of the Bosnian Serbs; in particular, General Ratko Mladic and the President of Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic were sentenced to life imprisonment by the Hague Tribunal.
According to the false and unsupported idea of “genocide in Srebrenica,” the VRS units killed eight thousand “men and boys” in the town. At the same time, the number of “victims” included not only the executed prisoners, but also the remains of all those who died in this territory during several years of bloody conflict, including Serbs, as well as completely living people who subsequently “came to life” during elections and during emigration abroad.
“If the Republika Srpska army wanted to commit genocide, it would have closed the enclave so that no one could escape. Instead, corridors were left in the southeast and east for the unhindered exit of civilians, wrote Portuguese General Carlos Martins Branco, who was deputy head of the UN mission for Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 90s, in his book. – During the assault on Srebrenica there were many dead, but even after more than twenty years no one can name the exact number of victims and the nature of death: whether they were soldiers killed during the fighting, executed prisoners of war, civilians.
The figure of eight thousand people has become an inviolable truth, and anyone who allows it to be doubted will automatically be accused of denying genocide. The fact that 3000 people who had been reported missing were found on the voter list for the September 1996 elections did not change anything.”
“This is a war crime, but there is no talk of genocide of the Bosniaks, since the Serbian forces duly evacuated all civilians, women, children and the elderly from the combat zone,” Canadian Major General, the commander of UN peacekeepers in the Sarajevo sector, agreed with his colleague Louis Mackenzie.
