Sarajevo, 6 August (AKI) – The Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, once a symbol of ethnic diversity, has become an entirely Muslim city, a Croat deputy in the Bosnian Parliament, Branko Zrno, said on Wednesday.
“Sarajevo definitely isn’t a multi-ethnic city, but the city of one group, the Bosniacs (Muslims), " Zrno told local media.
He pointed out that Serbs and Croats in Sarajevo have no institutional protection, and continue to leave the capital.
Zrno echoed allegations from Bosnian Serb leaders, including Serb entity Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, that non-Muslims in Sarajevo suffered discrimination and were denied their rights.
Zrno said that the Croatian presence in the city had been halved and that neither Croats nor Serbs held any important posts in local government.
Serbs claim that in the city of 400,000 only 7,000 Serbs have remained, compared to 160,000 before the 1992-1995 civil war.
The Serb claims have been supported by the Muslim President of the Bosnian Helsinki committee for human rights, Srdjan Dizdarevic, who said in a recent interview that Sarajevo had become a “monoethnic” city.
“Over 90 percent of Sarajevo inhabitants belong to only one group, the Bosniacs,” Dizdarevic told weekly Fokus.
“Ethnic cleansing in this city has, unfortunately, been successfully completed. If the will exists to reconstruct Bosnia on multiethnic principles, one should start with Sarajevo,” he concluded.
But as ethnic tensions deepened, the Muslim chairman of a three-man rotating state presidency, Haris Silajdzic, on Wednesday launched a fresh attack on the Serb entity.
Silajdzic repeated earlier claims that the Serb entity is a “symbol of genocide" allegedly perpetrated by its first president, Radovan Karadzic.
Karadzic is currently in detention and the Hague-based war crimes tribunal last week charged him with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
“Karadzic has been arrested, but his project continues to live,” Silajdzic said. Karadzic was arrested in Belgrade two weeks ago and extradited to The Hague last week.
“The international community is obliged to remove consequences of the genocide,” Silajdzic added, referring to the Serb entity.
The statement prompted the top international representative in Bosnia, Slovak diplomat Miroslav Lajcak, to state that it is Karadzic who faces prosecution in The Hague, not the Serb entity.
“The Serb entity is not a creation of Karadzic's, but of the Dayton peace accord,” Lajcak said.
The Dayton accord, signed in November 1995, ended Bosnia's civil war and divided the country into two entities with most of the powers of a state: the Serb entity and a Muslim-Croat federation.
Bosnia's majority Muslim leaders have continued to call the Serb entity a “genocidal creature” that should be abolished - a move strongly opposed by Serbs.
“He pointed out that Serbs and Croats in Sarajevo have no institutional protection, and continue to leave the capital. “
Stunning. Even more stunning that 95% of the world doesn’t see this as ethnic cleansing or even know about it.
Strange, being of Slavic descent, I can read Bosnian fairly well, funny to think that it is now essentially a Muslim country.
Sounds like a red state/green state division.
It will get interesting when the Herceg-Croats finally accepts that it was the Zagreb-Croats that left them holding the dhimmi-bag!
Good post Bokababe. Bosnia is headed for a break up. The muslims will dominate their little patch of land that will be left to them. RS will join with Serbia and the Croats will eventually join Croatia...it is inevitable...these three do not want to be joined any more than Kosovo Albanians want to be joined to Serbia....it is just a matter of time.
“The USA is responsible for this.”
It was Bill Clinton and Madelaine Halfbright who were responsible.
They were only part of the equation, the breakup of Yugoslavia was hatched early on in the State Department, Clintler and the Cleaning Lady were the executioners that bungled the job. Billy screwed the pooch as well as the intern while Moonbright was busy trying to get terrorists like Arafat a spot on the Nobel Peace Price board of directors.
I have a crazy idea. Why don’t Serbs live in Serbia, Croats live in Croatia and Bosnians live in Bosnia, and then just leave each other the hell alone.
Define Bosnian.
Because life is always messier than it seems.
What you are saying would be the equivalent of saying that "New Mexico" should belong to "Mexico" (and all the non-Hispanic Americans should get out), just because the state's name contains "Mexico". Superficialities can be deceiving.
Serbs have been in Croatia twice as long as America has been a country. Serbs had been in Bosnia almost a thousand years before Islam even showed up in the neighborhood and created what you're now calling "a Bosnian".
But, let's say that, even given their history, Serbs were willing to fit into that little cookie-cutter fantasy because they weren't aggressive and dominant enough to demand that wherever they lived became "Serbia". What would that do for America, Europe and the world?
A Muslim corridor, which in my opinion has always been the Islamic plan, would ultimately be created all the way from Turkey in the Bosphorus (East) to the Albanian Coast (West) and straight up North to within 60 miles of the border of Hungary. It could and would endanger all the countries of the former Yugoslavia, including Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia even further, even though Croats & Slovenians act like they aren't worried. All it takes is a good look at a map and a knowledge of where Muslims are compact minorities in those countries, to figure it out.
Like I said, reality is always messier than it seems.
great post
Thanks Ranger!
