- In the Middle East, things came to a dead end. You saw what happened in Germany at the Munich Olympics. Killed 11 Israeli athletes. Killed two Germans ... That is why they have been able to blow up planes and bombing women and children in Lebanon and Syria. I personally, as well as our entire nation, I am absolutely against what the commandos made in Munich. Whether they were conscious or unconscious of one's tools, I do not know. But we are against terror at all. Well, let me think about it a little bit - what kind of terror there. What about the terror when every throw thousands and thousands of tons of explosives, when a bomb destroys and kills every living thing ... Is this terror? It was the worst terror.

So, let's now draw lessons from what happened in Munich, so that once the United Nations, do something to be more terrorism on a world scale could occur. And it can be done ... What now Israel does not make himself, he has good support from the outside. Therefore, it is very dangerous. And that terrorist undertaking in Munich has a very hellish intent. To hate all of humanity turned against the Arabs. Almost, all Arabs should be liquidated. Of course, we must fight against it to cast blame on these nations, the entire country - was presciently said Tito in Prijedor on 10 September 1972.

No replies

So - "against terror!" - These words of Josip Broz Tito, uttered in 1972 in Prijedor, those who in 1992 led the government of this city are completely forgotten, because the Prijedor only 20 years later, had a genocide and urbicid.

Instead torch of liberty, gold eggshell and life styles, one perfect culture of life in this city, which was suddenly no longer able to recognize in its potmuloj and dark anxiety, to the streets and the promenade into the public arena, entered monstrous "talents", which are ripened into cauldrons of hatred and then the obscure and the most horrible years of the city since 1683, first mentioned in the writings of Count Adam Bacanija in Vienna war, horribly mutilated reality of libertarian Prijedor and once a symbol of anti-fascism.

Prijedor today: The former symbol of anti-fascism, ethnic styles and cultures življenjaI have made him a symbol of European genocide, concentration camps, suffering and widespread disintegration of human values.There is no answer to it so could happen, it is not known why the words then were imperfect, and shot the best means of communication with their former neighbors, but it is known that the former Prijedor, one of Tito's vakta is unique originality of that era, today the original persistent denial and denial of crimes against non-Serbs and outrageous persistence authorities in preventing that dignity mark the places of suffering of innocent people.
