Asked about recent efforts to turn a former Croat concentration camp in Herzegovina into a museum for the HVO milita, @Dragan_Covic says he is "sorry such...places were necessary [!], that some people had to be [!!] denied their freedom."
“I was tortured so much; they made an animal out of me. There was psychological [torture], hunger, thirst, non-stop labour, working on the front line amid shootings; you didn’t feel like you were going to survive & that there would ever be an end to this.”
@josattler, the EU ambassador and special representatives to Bosnia, calls Dragan Covic the “Champion of European values.”
The entire leadership (military & civil) of “Herceg-Bosna”, was convicted by the ICTY & labelled a “Joint Criminal Enterprise” for its crimes against Bosnia - yet, its openly celebrated by senior Bosnian-Croat & Croat political leaders.
European values, indeed.
Croat #HVO heroics. In this video we see the brutal murder of a disabled elderly man. Nazis only show bravery in this way.

Srebrenica is a town in eastern Bosnia and was a UN "safe area" in the 1990s upon which the Serb Army forces imposed a siege and famine that, 28 years ago, culminated in the worst act of mass murder in Europe since World War II. This is a thread on the #SrebrenicaGenocide.
"You are now under the protection of the UN forces. I will never abandon you." -- UN General Philippe Morillon, speaking to Srebrenica Bosnians in 1993.
Despite #Srebrenica's status as a UN "safe area" and the UN's disarming of the Srebrenica inhabitants--a policy which would help facilitate the genocidal killing of over 8,000 civilians--UN, at no point, fired a single bullet to protect the people of Srebrenica.
As a symbolic act to mark the 31st anniversary of the genocide committed against Bosniak civilians in the eastern town of #Visegrad, 3,000 roses were cast into the Drina River from the Mehmed-Pasa Sokolovic Bridge to pay tribute to the 3,000 victims.
Međeđa (Višegrad) 1993 - in this video you can hear Serb soldiers joking about burning down a mosque. “This one is a war criminal!” one of them says.
The mosque was indeed destroyed. Along with thousands of others during the genocide.
Visegrad is the municipality with the largest number of murdered women and children.
One of the key commanders during the initial 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦 in 2014, Igor Girkin, previously served as a 🇷🇺“volunteer” during the Bosnian War (center below) and participated in the Visegrad Massacre, one of the worst episodes of the #BosnianGenocide.
In Višegrad, Bosniaks made up 64% of the population in 1991. Today they make up 9%. The extremist Serb Chetnik movement is responsible for mass rape and genocide in #Visegrad in 1940s and 90s. Now, they are emboldened by Dodik and the West’s appeasement of Vucic.
Today in #Visegrad, Eastern Bosnia, where Russian volunteers helped Serbs in the genocidal campaign against Bosniaks in 1992.
On May 31st, all Bosniaks in #Prijedor were ordered to mark their houses with white flags and to wear a white armbands in public by Serb authorities.
Over 3,000 killed and the internment of 30,000 people in concentration camps and mass expulsions of over 50,000 people.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The ICTY concluded that the takeover of Prijedor by the Serb politicians was an illegal coup d'état, which was planned and coordinated a long time in advance with the ultimate aim of creating a pure Serb municipality.
The announcements broadcast on the radio, from 31 May 1992 onward, obliged non-Serbs to hang white bed sheets outside their homes and wear white armbands as a demonstration of their loyalty to the Serb authorities.
Meet Srđan Golubović aka DJ MAX. #DJMAX is a music DJ. He plays music all over Serbia and the Montenegrin coast. Here’s a photo of DJ MAX kicking a defenseless Tifa Šabanović before murdering her along with other civilians in #Bijeljina.
20,000 rabid #Partizan fans are chanting racist slogans at Real Madrid’s Bosnian player @DzMusa at the moment in Belgrade. Numerous banners hung as well, reminiscent of #Serbia’s vile fascism and genocide.
@FIBA will likely do nothing. Racism and debauchery is rewarded.
