Historian Miloš Ković has assessed that the premeditated eradication of Serbs, currently unfolding with the initiation of the Srebrenica resolution in the UN General Assembly, fully meets the definition of genocide according to the UN Convention.
Ković mentioned that the resolution proposal has reminded us that genocide can neither be hidden nor silenced.
“Try to forget, turn your head the other way, teach your children to look to the future. Those who committed genocide, or their descendants, will come for you. In the end, they will declare themselves victims, and you the executioners,” Ković wrote in an article “Genocidal Resolution” for the portal “Iskra.”
According to him, the crime does not give peace to the one who committed it, and so it is with genocide.
“It is an obsessive topic for the nations that proposed this resolution – the Americans, Germans and, on a Balkan micro-scale, the Bosniaks and Albanians. The Croatians, surprisingly, did not stand out on this occasion,” added Ković.
He stated that the Americans committed the largest genocide in human history, the eradication of the native population of the American continent.
“This genocide was initiated by the British, who then passed it on to the newly established American nation. While the Americans were annihilating their natives, the British continued to do so in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and throughout their colonial empire,” Ković added.
According to him, unlike the Americans, who occasionally manage to repent, the British most often “wash their hands” by pointing fingers at the Americans, Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders.
Ković highlighted that during World War II, the Anglo-Saxons bombed Serbian cities and civilians, “only to later hand them over to the mercy of Josip Broz Tito,” who will “kill almost 60,000 people in Serbia in the first onslaught.”
“In the wars in which they disintegrated Yugoslavia, they bombed us again and directly participated, through their Croatian, Bosniak, and Albanian auxiliary forces, in the genocide of the Serbian people in Krajina, Sarajevo, Kosovo, and Metohija. Now they are trying to partition Serbia, extinguish Republika Srpska, and assimilate the remnants of the Serbian people in Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania,” emphasized Ković.
He added that this “premeditated eradication of Serbs, currently taking place, fully corresponds to the definition of genocide from the UN Convention on Genocide /1948/.”
“At the same time, they, without any hesitation or sense of shame, accuse us of committing genocide, lecturing us on what morality, justice, and freedom are. The same methods, tested in the Balkans, are now being tried against the Russians. The evil born here, in the genocide against the Serbs, is now dragging the whole world into a nuclear Armageddon,” warned Ković.
He mentioned that the Germans had already gone down this path.
“Can anyone doubt that Hitler would have used nuclear weapons, had he had them? Just as the Americans did over Japanese civilians? Should we waste time and space describing German crimes?” asked Ković.
He added that the Germans and the whole world know almost every detail about the Holocaust and asked how much and what is known about the German genocide against the Serbs, Russians, or Poles.
“As Dušan Kovačević said – they killed us, grandfathers, sons, and grandsons, three times just in the 20th century. The criminals of 1914, when the genocide against the Serbs began, returned in 1941 to continue their begun work. The killers of Serbian children, women, and the elderly, members of the regular army, the Wehrmacht, returned to their homes and continued their peaceful, civilian lives,” stated Ković.
According to him, the Anglo-Saxons financed them through the “Marshall Plan,” together with the Vatican saved the worst criminals through “ratlines,” and prepared them for a new showdown with the Serbs.
Ković added that the Germans, along with others, then disintegrated Yugoslavia, armed the secessionists, and eventually participated themselves in new bombings and killings of Serbs.
“Let’s remember the decoration for the German officer who, in front of cameras in 1999 in Prizren, killed Serbian civilians attempting to flee the city from Albanian terrorists. Where German ‘protectors’ from Albanian terror arrived, Serbs had no chance of survival. Here they are today, competing with the Anglo-Saxons in eradicating and insulting the Serb people,” wrote Ković.
He pointed to the crimes of Nazi divisions in BiH, noting that “the victims of their massive and bestial crimes, which do not lag behind the deeds of Croatian-Bosniak Ustashas, were almost exclusively Serbs, the ancestors of those whom the Germans today accuse of genocide.”
“Even in divisions where Bosniaks and Croats provided soldiers, the command staff were Germans /’Handžar’ and ‘Devil’s’ divisions/. Meša Selimović, who witnessed the deeds of the ‘Handžar’ division and Ustashas against Serbs in BiH, explicitly called them genocide in his ‘Memories’,” stated Ković.
According to him, when talking about Ustashas and Jasenovac, Bosniaks point fingers at Zagreb and Croats.
“For them, in Western media, the status of victims is reserved. However, propaganda cannot hide the facts about their participation in the Ustasha genocide against Serbs,” emphasized Ković.
He reminded that the documentary film “Garavice” by Dragan Radović was recently filmed, confirming that entire Muslim villages and families participated in killing Serbs, adding that even Croatian Ustashas were appalled.
Ković assessed that an objective, comprehensive history of Bosniak participation in World War II has not yet been written.
“We do not even have a history of Bosniaks in World War I, when they not only participated in the criminal campaign of Austro-Hungary against civilians in Serbia but also, as ‘schutzkorps,’ precursors of the Ustashas, exterminated Serbs in BiH. We can thus go back all the way to Ottoman times, when they distinguished themselves with unparalleled cruelty towards their Serbian neighbors and often, relatives,” pointed out Ković.
He added that all these are not topics that occupy any significant place in Serb culture and historiography.
Ković mentioned that Albanians from North Macedonia and Albania “stood out in this latest harangue against Serbs on the East River.”
“The Albanian genocide against Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, as a conscious intent to destroy, expel, and loot an entire people, has lasted for centuries, with a break from 1912-1941, continuing to this day,” warned Ković.
He stated that it is senseless to talk about the collective guilt of Albanians, Bosniaks, Germans, British, Americans, or the faultlessness of Serbs, but that deliberate simplifications and political abuses are imposed precisely when facts are being hidden – names and national affiliations of criminals and their victims.
“The aim of the questions that must finally be asked should be exclusively and only the attainment of truth. Only then will we be able to understand the crimes of Serbs in Srebrenica, the preceding crimes of Bosniaks in the villages of the municipalities of Srebrenica, Bratunac, and Milići, or the fact that this resolution before the UN is being submitted precisely by Germans, Americans, Bosniaks, and Albanians,” emphasized Ković.
He asked whether Serbia is really to blame for everything to Americans, English, Germans, Bosniaks, and Albanians, and what Serbs have done to explain to themselves and the world what has been happening to them from 1914 to today.
Ković added that the scholarly monographs on the genocide against Serbs, published in world languages, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
“Serb society has not become aware of the topic of genocide, nor the fact that Serbs were exposed to this evil three times just in the 20th century. This is best seen by the unworthy, public, externally stimulated debates about the number of Serbs killed in Jasenovac and the Independent State of Croatia. It is astonishing to hear with what ease Serbs engage in bidding on the numbers of their martyrs,” emphasized Ković.
He noted that in the UN General Assembly, the interests of states and the balance of power of the great powers will decide.
“The temporary postponement of the vote, scheduled for May 2, shows the intensity of the diplomatic battle being waged on the East River. Inflicting evil on Serbs is apparently, by all indications, a secondary intention of the USA and Germany. They are trying to, while supporting crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, improve their relations with the Muslim world,” emphasized Ković.
According to him, great powers and powerful states have and will have their interests, and nothing can be done about it.
“However, the most important thing is that we become aware of our own past, that we learn something from our own experience. When we understand the meaning of genocide, when we piece together the pieces of that terrible mosaic, we will know how to defend our people’s right to mere survival, and we will enter battles, such as this latest one on the East River, more cautiously, boldly, and successfully,” concluded Ković.
