Unbelievable. This is the same station, Prva TV, that aired the Greater Serbia map only days ago, which so many tried to rationalize. A terrifying disinformation campaign; a completely fabricated claim about the creation of a supposed pan-Muslim territory in the Balkans.
And before the usual suspects scream “context!?”, here’s the link to the segment, starting around the 17 min mark. Apparently this is all part of a neo-Ottoman ploy, orchestrated by Turkey, and will invoke also the Bulgarian Pomaks. This is Milosevic 2.0. prva.rs/web-tv/info/ve…
And no, @suljagicemir1 a survivor of Srebrenica genocide is not being alarmist when he says this is the kind of rhetoric that precedes killing campaigns. This is construction of a fictitious threat, a conspiracy against the nation, that is used to justify pre-emptive violence.
Not many things shock me about Vucic’s Serbia anymore but I am genuinely floored by this. I know it won’t receive nearly the attention of the Greater Serbia map but it’s, arguably, an even more glaring example of Milosevic era hate speech and conspiracy mongering.
This is the 4th or 5th most watched station in Serbia using its prime time news hour to lie to its viewers that Muslims from Bosnia to Kosovo to Bulgaria to Turkey are constructing an imaginary “green corridor”. This is, in short, a call to arms. This is peak 1991/92 rhetoric.
Actually, as @milos_ciric points out, it may be the most watched news hour in Serbia. Where are all the “well, actually” bros from a few nights ago now? Where are all those who claimed we were spinning, stretching & fudging? Feckless sophists.
This is precisely the correct analogy by @ReufBajrovic here: this idea of a “green transversal” or “green corridor” in the Balkans is the Serb nationalist equivalent of the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”.
Serbian tabloids have running w Prva’s “green corridor”, adding acronym “Zetra”, which they made up, also happens to have been name of an Olympic venue built in Sarajevo in 1982. Coincidence?! Also, a handy break down of the territories “in play”. Insane. republika.rs/vesti/tema-dan…
The actual Zetra hosted hockey & figure skating events at Sarajevo Olympics. It was largely destroyed by the last cabal to peddle this rhetoric & then used as a makeshift morgue to house the remains of thousands killed by Karadzic & Milosevic’s forces during the Sarajevo Siege.
And as @ahiret_express notes, the guy being cited as an “authority” here is Rajko Vasić, a high-ranking official in the @SNSDDodik, who recently wrote re Srebrenica commemorations: “I’ve been thinking. If you so love that genocide wait until the next [one].”
Article from June by Srđa Trifković for obscurantist Chronicles Magazine laying out framework of “green corridor” conspiracy theory. Trifković was Russian “elxn observer” during bogus Crimea referendum, ex-spox for war criminal Plavšić govt in BiH, barred from Canada in 2011.
Oh, and lest we think what Prva TV, the tabloids & Trifković are peddling here is merely the fevered lunacy of a fringe underground: Serbia's Foreign Minister (!) now claims "real reason" for seeking Kosovo partition is to "close the green corridor". srbijadanas.com/vesti/info/dac…
Where are all the "sober" analysts who told us that the proposal to partition Kosovo had nothing to do w Bosnia or the rest of the region? The FM of Serbia now says Belgrade's aim is to prevent the formation of a fictitious pan-Muslim state well beyond KOS.
