Second to Last Call for Mobilization

It sounds somewhat naive and clumsy when Bosniak politicians express surprise at the repeated/constant denial of genocide against Bosniaks in this last war. MD has been telling the same story for years with minor variations on the theme... every now and then they blurt out some nonsense that "not even a dog would eat with butter" and, I am sure, somewhere they are dying of laughter at how they, incredibly unerringly, fell for the same trick again.

Does anyone in this country really expect any of the politicians from Republika Srpska to say: "Yes... we killed you... sorry, it slipped out... it got out of control... we got carried away... what can we say now... we'll never do it again... you know how it is when you drink (well, yes, forgive me, you don't drink so you wouldn't know)... here, what do you want us to do to apologize...?!" Judging by the statements of the vast majority of Bosniak politicians, it is incredibly baffling, but some seriously question their mental health. Expecting someone to admit to genocide is the same as expecting the political establishment from Banja Luka to unilaterally declare the abolition of Republika Srpska. The voice of the representatives of that "international community" both in the country and those coming from Brussels and Strasbourg supports this claim: "Well... you got a verdict... he was convicted... let's move on, form a government...!"

First of all, the Greater Serbian project is too serious a matter for all Serbs to leave it to chance. I am sure that since 2016, when RK was sentenced to 40 years in prison in the first instance, AV – then acting as prime minister – convened an extraordinary session of his government with only one item on the agenda – the verdict and the annulment of its consequences in the form of collective guilt and responsibility "for crimes committed by individuals" – they have done everything in their power – from engaging diplomacy and sub-diplomacy to lobbying / buying the most influential people who matter – to achieve this. The success of this action, about which I have no idea, is also indicated by the fact that AV – now in the capacity of president – after the appeal and verdict, did not even flinch. From the appellate verdict of RK – somehow – Serbia and its Greater Serbian territorial appetites, inseparable from genocidal intentions or at least intentions to displace people, disappeared, and the name of its former suicidal president is not linked in any way to the wars of the nineties, despite the innumerable evidence – even the hidden and circumvented ones – that the Serbian regime logistically, financially and operationally controlled the Serb forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina... thereby the "international community" tacitly amnestied Serbia for all the crimes – tens of thousands killed – in its name... There you have it!

In line with this, the behavior of the political representatives of Republika Srpska is not surprising in any way: despite the conclusions of some brilliant minds of parties and fronts from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the authorities of Republika Srpska are not "trying" but have already done everything to not only "establish the policy of committing crimes" but also the results of that policy and the commission of crimes "as public or social good of that entity" – they have territory, ethnically clean, with a small number of non-Serbs, without migrants... without any prospects / dangers(!) that this situation will change anytime soon. They are ready to defend this "just in case" not only with the reserve police force but also with members of security agencies and members of hunting societies.

However, the behavior of Bosniak politicians, both male and female (!), and even the pro-Bosnian ones (I still haven't and it seems I won't "digest" this term for a long time) is what causes... They said what they knew – they were surprised and not surprised, they issued press releases... And that's it! Objectively, nothing more could be expected: they truly neither know nor can they think of anything other than that. The only thing that comes to their mind is tit-for-tat... statement for statement... buying three days until MD thinks of some new dangerous nonsense and releases it to the public so that "our" guys can announce themselves again, make statements and issue press releases... and so on in a circle until 2020 or 2022... or until the moment when – as it is said in one of the statements – it becomes nonsensical to call on the international community because, both its existence is highly questionable, and the policy that cherishes the achievements of genocide does not care at all about the stance of the international community in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A public call to find an "institutional response to the policy of bullying and preparations for new violence in order to prevent it" not only because "history teaches us that the world will not defend us from those who, contrary to civilization, know only the law of force", not even because of the fact that neither Bosniak nor pro-Bosnian forces (?) have an adequate response to the policy that – if we are to tell the truth – meets with the tacit support of all actors who invoke and are asked about "international, democratic and civilizational standards"... but first and foremost because of the fact that we all somewhat overlook, that the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has not ended but has been stopped, or interrupted... and that it must end... it chills the blood.

Precisely because the term "mobilization" sounds ominous at this moment is the only adequate one for the situation. Is this perhaps the second to last call for the civil / civic mobilization of all normal people – that is, those who do not want war – and those who have been silent until now, but had something to say, to finally speak up. Because perhaps the last call they receive in life will be to fulfill their ultimate civic duty and (military) mobilization.
