Bosnian Serbs began filming a documentary about the extermination of the Serbian village of Ledici by Bosniaks and Croats
The film, tentatively titled “Uncle, I’m Alive, Don’t Kill Me,” will, in fact, be the story of one of the few residents of the Serbian village of Ledici near Sarajevo who survived ethnic cleansing.
RTRS reported this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
At the beginning of the year, the RTRS television channel began filming a documentary about the suffering of the Serbs in the village of Ledići on the slopes of Treskavica near Sarajevo. The film, with the working title “Uncle, I’m alive, don’t kill me...” is, in fact, the story of Dragan Vasic. At the age of 12, he was the only survivor of a group of villagers who fled the village before an attack by militants of the Islamist Army of BiH and the Croatian National Battalion HOS.
Despite the serious wounds he received, the boy saw who was shooting at unarmed civilians: women and children. He miraculously survived, and for this we can thank one of the militants of the BiH Army, who took pity on him and took him to a military hospital.
The film also presents testimonies from other surviving residents of the village of Ledići, who abandoned the village and went towards the then Serb-controlled areas of Sarajevo. The group, which included Dragan Vasic, was unlucky; it walked in the opposite direction, towards Kalinovik, ran into militants, and everyone except him was killed. The youngest victim at the time was Milun Tešanović, who was only one and a half years old; children Daniela Tešanović, Dragomir Tešanović and Sladjana Sekulović were also killed. The oldest victim was 92-year-old Iconia Vasic.
This bloody crime against peaceful Bosnian Serbs occurred in June 1992, and to this day no one has been punished for it. Moreover, the justice of BiH did not even initiate a criminal case on this fact.
The film is expected to be shown on RTRS in the coming months.
