Salkić warns: Serbia will never give up territorial claims to BiH

(Patria) - Serbia has not and will never give up its territorial claims to Bosnia and Herzegovina, SDA MP in the National Assembly of Republika Srpska (NSRS) Ramiz Salkić warned on social media this evening.

Because of this, as he stated, only the naive are surprised by the reactions from Serbia to the continued spread of truth about the genocide committed against Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Panicked and at times hysterical reactions from Serbia through attacks on the bearers of truth, primarily the surviving victims, are proof of Serbia's efforts to take the final step - to silence the bearers of truth in order to finally present fabricated lies to the public.

By intentionally reversing the narrative that Serbia is threatened by Bosniaks and Bosnia and Herzegovina, they want to divert public attention from the recently adopted declaration of the 'All-Serbian Assembly' and further justify its adoption and content to the Serbian public.

By reversing the narrative and injecting the Serbian public with a new dose of fear of others and different people, they want to justify the commission of crimes against Bosniaks in the past because they actually represent a strategic threat to Serbia and the Serbian people.

Vučić and his obedient followers in Serbia, as well as among Bosnian Serbs, know very well that the truth is completely different and that Serbia itself has pretensions towards Bosnia and Herzegovina in the future, just as it did in the past.

The best example of this is the fact that Vučić and his followers respect the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina with RS within it, but they never talk about the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina because they consider the entities to be sovereign.

Thus, the President of the National Assembly of Serbia in the NSRs, in her guest address, repeated the lie that is intended to be continuously propagated - that Bosnia and Herzegovina was created from entities, which is in direct contradiction to the Dayton Peace Agreement, Annex 4, Article 1 of the BiH Constitution.

'The All-Serbian Assembly', through its adopted declaration, has given strong support to the policy of disintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the quiet integration of the BiH entity RS into all Serbian flows, thereby directly violating the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This declaration is a direct continuation of the policies that led to the aggression, persecution, and genocide committed by the Army of Republika Srpska, supported by Serbia through the 30th personnel center of the Yugoslav Army.

We should never lose sight of the fact that Serbia is the only country so far found guilty of not preventing genocide and punishing the perpetrators of genocide.

Due to all of the above, Serbia is a signatory to the Dayton Peace Agreement, as a participant in the international armed conflict on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is further confirmed by the verdicts against Stanišić and Simatović, as well as the testimony of war criminal Miroslav Deronjić in The Hague, who says:

'13. I didn't even know that Kertes had an office in that Presidency building, nor did I know what he was doing or what his job was. This is about Mihalj Kertes, who was involved in politics at the time when Slobodan Milošević began to build his political career...

15. So we started talking about weapons, which was the reason for our visit there. A very open conversation began, which surprised me. He told us that he was the person responsible for arming. He mentioned Croatia, and even Kosovo. He really wanted to impress us...

17. Goran Zekić asked him what the political plan for Podrinje was, and whether Serbia could provide any assistance to Serbs in that area. And then he said something that I later also heard, but it was the first time I heard it then, and that is that the area 50 kilometers from the Drina River will be all Serbian, purely Serbian.'

This part of the testimony refers to April and May 1991. In the further part of the testimony, Deronjić testifies about the participation of the Yugoslav Army in military operations in Podrinje in 1993:

'155. Up there on the hill, I saw many soldiers in completely white camouflage uniforms. It was about 500 meters away, and there I could clearly see a group of about 50 soldiers in white camouflage uniforms.

I asked several soldiers standing on the road who those soldiers in white uniforms were, because they looked very professional and walked in an orderly column.

I was told that their commander, Stupar, was also in Konjević Polje. However, I neither saw nor met him.

156. … What I heard during the operation was that a unit of the Valjevo Corps entered Bratunac. They crossed the bridge. I don't remember who the commander of that unit was, nor did I see when they entered the city or where they went afterwards. I heard that there was artillery fire from the direction of the Ljubovija bridge...

159. I think that while talking about the operation concerning Srebrenica in 1993 and the participation of the Yugoslav Army, I missed a detail that might prove important...

I think he told me that Đukić was in favor of carrying out the operation in that way, and he also told me that the entire operation was planned with Đukić in the Yugoslav General Staff. So, we are talking about Belgrade, the Yugoslav General Staff in Belgrade...'

All of this and more is well known to Vučić and his followers on both sides of the Drina River, and that is why they are strongly trying to suppress any kind of dissemination of truth, not shying away from using vile lies and deception to justify the committed genocide and hide the truth about Serbia's real intentions towards Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bosniaks in the future.

The All-Serbian declaration, which is anti-Dayton and unconstitutional from the perspective of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the best proof of Serbia's intentions towards Bosniaks and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It is our obligation to continue to speak and spread the truth bravely, persistently, and relentlessly, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and outside Bosnia and Herzegovina, because the danger of repeating crimes with such policies in Serbia is more than certain in the future.

Vučić's thesis that there is a threat to Serbia, its security, and stability from Bosniaks and Bosnia and Herzegovina is nothing more than a justification for future actions against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which ultimately means endangering peace," Salkić stated.
