While Dodik Speaks: Anniversary of 'Oluja' Illustrated by the Persecution of Bosniaks from Žepa!

(Patria) - Dobrica Ćosić long ago stated that “a lie is a Serbian state interest“.

„We lie to deceive ourselves, to comfort others; we lie out of compassion, we lie out of shame, to encourage, to hide our misery, we lie for honesty. We lie for freedom. A lie is a form of Serbian patriotism and a confirmation of our innate intelligence. We lie creatively, imaginatively, inventively.“

And there is no doubt that politicians in both Serbia and Republika Srpska have been acting on this matrix for years, so social networks are full of photos commemorating Oluja and the persecution of Serbs.

Namely, a photograph of Milorad Dodik at the podium in Prijedor was published, and behind him on the screen, a woman with a baby was displayed. According to well-informed sources, the photograph shows a Bosniak woman who was expelled from Žepa. The photograph was taken by an AFP photographer.

„What does the picture behind the gentleman, taken during the deportation of Bosniaks from Žepa, showing Mrs. Sabina Mujkić with a baby in her arms, have to do with Oluja?“, reads a Facebook post.

We remind you that the top leadership from Serbia, led by Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia, also attended the anniversary commemoration in Prijedor.

Incidentally, this year's commemoration in Prijedor, instead of in Serbia, was accompanied by sharp criticism, as more than 3,000 Bosniaks and Croats were killed in that city during the past war.

We remind you that the organizers also requested that the adhan for the afternoon and evening prayers not be recited, which was not respected in the end, and such a request was not even received in writing; instead, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska asked the imams not to broadcast the adhan over the loudspeakers for security reasons!
