Prime Minister Vučić: A Top Political Manipulator

By: Academician Esad Duraković 

After last year's Commemoration in Potočari, I stated on TV 1 that Vučić is a great political manipulator and that no one should apologize to him, especially not the Mothers of Srebrenica. He has greatly politically capitalized on the greatest Bosniak tragedy – the one that the UN Security Council has named genocide.

The Mothers of Srebrenica – and they should not have done so under any circumstances! – adorned him with their Flower, and then, due to the incident caused by his ethical presence and farce, everyone apologized to him, almost the entire nation, so that the act of burial and the act of genocide itself were completely overshadowed by Vučić's "sacrifice" and "heroism".

Everyone has forgotten that it was precisely he who rampaged through Bosnia during the war as a Chetnik/Šešelj activist. Everyone has also forgotten that shortly before that, this "poor" and "attacked" Vučić (but he is a political wolf, a predator!) used all the potentials of his position to thwart the Resolution on Genocide in the Security Council. Since the Srebrenica Commemoration has planetary significance, his alleged suffering has transcended local boundaries – it has gained planetary significance, enormous political capital that he is trying to convert into ethical capital as well.

He is an excellent politician who manages to turn the worst possible hypocrisy into a virtue. This "chess master", who plays a dark game with mass death, always plays with white pieces. This year, these days, he is even better at this monstrous Game of Evil with his neighbors. Let's see how he is doing it now.

These days, even before the Commemoration, he is reaping huge political points from the Srebrenica genocide. He no longer even needs to go to Potočari for them – they are already falling into his "political lap".

The Organizing Committee rightly emphasized that those who deny genocide are not welcome. Although they do not mention anyone by name, Vučić recognized himself, of course, and felt greatly offended, as a supposed, endlessly hypocritical "architect of good neighborly relations". Politics and the media are roaring with understanding for the "offended" Vučić, and the Organizing Committee has been put in a position to repeatedly explain its already explained, crystal-clear ethical and apolitical stance.

This is already a kind of FEELING OF IMPOSED GUILT. It is the perfect effect of the SANU Memorandum II, according to which everything must be done to marginalize the crimes committed by Serbian military forces.

The people of Srebrenica do not need to explain anything to anyone anymore. However, Vučić has, once again, masterfully profited, even before the Commemoration. And again from the genocide committed precisely by those forces in which he himself actively and effectively participated. He is a great manipulator, a top one, and he can get away with it because the international community, which is otherwise ethically and politically disoriented, turns a blind eye to him. He knows how to use it.

Imagine, this "Noble Man" will even donate five million of something for Srebrenica, convinced that he will gain public favor and the favor of the poor people of Srebrenica with this move. Speaking of menageries, the Albanians would say at this point: "More, kakva je to ljisica!" (watch the accents!) This is a masterful belittling of the act of Commemoration, a humiliation in an extremely perfidious political way.

Minister Crnadak is selflessly helping him in this, behaving as if he were the minister of Serbia, not BiH, not even Serbia, but as Vučić's minister. Just when you think the bottom has been reached, a minister appears who convinces you – without a doubt and brutally to the point of pain – that the bottom has not yet been reached: he usurps, kidnaps the state Ministry to put it, arbitrarily, at the service of those who acted in the forces that committed genocide, then deny it, and then, year after year, politically capitalize on it. It is unbelievable what the world, which is ethically disturbed, calmly watches and tolerates. Crnadak appears as a strong protagonist of Vučić's dark game.

Srebrenica is unique in the world: it shows how genocide does not end with the brutal liquidation of tens of thousands of people in a small area and in a short time, but rather genocide is "perfected" and ratified by the constant abuse of both the victims and those left behind, only to suffer. We are witnessing the second episode, the ratification of genocide in which a prime minister and a minister, among others, are the protagonists.

Even the non-recognition of the Bosnian language (surviving Bosniaks must not even be recognized their language!), which the institutions of Republika Srpska insist on, and on the orders of the Mother of Evil – SANU, which drafted the platform for aggression and recently issued a DECISION on the non-existence of the Bosnian language...

Democratic world? Humanists? Mr. Inzko. Where will your soul go?! Do you have one?!
