The memorial plaque Mladic lined mocking victims

Veteran East New Sarajevo asked recently to Massacres plate to commemorate the military parade that was in that place in May in 1992. Was made today Hague accused of serious war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic. And while some are proud to unveil a plaque, for others it is an insult to the dignity of those who are under Mladic's command of torture survivors.

Only a few meters away from the monument inscribed with the names of the victims of fascism in the Second World War, on the line of demarcation between FBiH and RS, Veteran East New Sarajevo, the wall was installed a memorial plaque in memory of the lineup two battalions, standing - samoorganizovanog Nations municipality of Novo Sarajevo, which was conducted Hague indictee Ratko Mladic.

It is in these places occurred at some of the most horrific crimes.

Non-Serb population, according to a number of judgments, both domestic and international courts, murdered, raped and ostracized, and from these positions by civilians in the besieged Sarajevo acted as snipers and shells that have taken more than 10,000 lives, of which 1,600 children:

"What kind of man who hit her three years?" Asks one of Sarajevo.

Children are killed everywhere - in school, while playing, in order to water, even in the mother's womb:

"It was by far, outside. Barreled grenade into the house to us directly, we were nine, 16 May 1992nd - I will never forget it. She ran here in Buca stream, the stream Buca caught up with me, that I was killed. No, wave, or a she. With me in his lap, "recalls one woman from Sarajevo.

"It is an insult to the victims say, because mark the place where they are lined up units that are bringing death besieged by Sarja 1430 days is unbelievable. It is already common practice that they keep trying to make heroes out of criminals, the crime do the right thing, and make the truth of scams. Much more important is what will be the judgment of Karadzic and Mladic to the Hague Tribunal. I expect and I think it would certainly be appropriate and equitable. And all that they try to think it will not have any significance, "states President of the murdered children besieged Sarajevo Fikret Grabovica.

Sarajlije setting these boards are considered an insult:

The fact that he erected a memorial plaque to commemorate the festival performed by Mladic, indicted for the most serious crimes, is frightening. It also shows that we have finished with the recent past, according to the president of the Society for Threatened Peoples of BiH Fadila Memišević:

"RS Army was appointed to the International Court of Justice in The Hague as a perpetrator of genocide. And no there is no sanction. That's what's scariest. It is a mockery to the victims, it is mocking Bosnia and Herzegovina, the biggest victim of the collapse of Yugoslavia, which was paid for with the sacrifice of over 100,000 deaths. And as there are veterans, as raped women? This is something that a normal person in the civilized world can not absolutely accepts that. "

The memorial plaque was installed on May 20, in the midst of the greatest natural disasters in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that its setting passed in silence.
