Kravica was the site of the first mass execution on July 13, 1995, where, according to the judgments of the Hague Tribunal and the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more than 1,000 people were killed, followed by executions in Orahovac, Kozluk, Branjevo and the dam in Petkovci, where more than 7,000 Bosniaks.
The tender launched by the Municipality of Bratunac, and partly financed by the Government of the Republic of Srpska, will be used to reconstruct and rehabilitate four halls of the Agricultural Cooperative in Kravica and thus remove damage from bullets that stand as a memorial to the Bosniak civilians killed in July 1995.
Director of the Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law UNSA prof. Ph.D. Rasim Muratović told the portal "Avaza" that it is about the destruction of the culture of memory, but also a criminal act.
- This is actually a continuation of Milosevic's policy, the mantra he said back in The Hague, that everything about BiH is not true, that it is all a lie, neither small nor big, but a pure lie. His ideologues and those who planned and organized the genocide in Srebrenica said everything we planned we accomplished, everything we did we will deny. So, this is first and foremost the denial of genocide and the erasure of traces. It is about the destruction of the culture of memory, and we have a bad historical experience of the Second World War, where after 1945 until 1990 we did not talk about what happened in the period of '41. - '45. and, of course, that went over our heads - Muratović said.
SHOW CONSISTENCY
He emphasizes that all places of suffering, especially the place of genocide such as Kravica, should be adequately marked.
- However, we see that they have sides that try to cover it up and cover it up. This morning the American Embassy, the international community reacted, the only non-governmental organizations reacted in an inadequate way, which in some other cases, such as for example Kazani, and of course I congratulate them for that, were persistent, detailed, where they cared about the size and type letters and so on. I think that especially here when it comes to Kravica, we need to show consistency and all of us from NGOs, state institutions and the international community need to show interest in this and prevent such an inhumane, immoral act which is actually a criminal act - concludes Muratović.
