The mayor of Istocno Sarajevo Ljubisa Cosic announced that he will file a criminal complaint against the Slovenian director Miran Zupanic for the film “Sarajevo Safari”, and this caused a reaction from the Institute for Genocide Research in Srebrenica Canada, which sent him an open letter.
Earlier in the day, it was announced that the mayor of IstocnoSarajevo will sue the director of the film “Sarajevo Safari” Miran Zupanic for, as he stated, “heinous lies and fabrications that he packed into the film called ‘Sarajevo Safari'”.
He stated that the film started a big storm among the public because the focus was on rich foreign “sniper tourists” who paid to shoot civilians in Sarajevo from the positions of the Republika Srpska (RS) Army during the last war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
After this announcement, the Genocide Research Institute of Canada responded by sending him an open letter.
“We are telling Cosic that this is the time for truth, justice and the institutionalization of the culture of remembrance of the biggest crime after the Holocaust in Europe, the genocide in BiH,” they said.
“This is the time when art begins to spread the truth about the morbid ‘hunt’ for living people in Sarajevo that shocked the public. This is the time of the truth about the terrible, until then unknown to the human mind, the ‘hunt’ by rich and influential foreigners, who paid to kill, from Serbian positions, already dehumanized people in besieged Sarajevo during the aggression against BiH,” it is stated below.
“The truth about the crime in besieged Sarajevo is a problem only for those who are bothered by a better future for the state of BiH with truth and justice. The criminalization of truth and justice is an integral part of the lobbying campaign of the anti-Bosnian coalition, which is strongly active in the homeland and the diaspora in which you also participate. Join truth and justice in the name of a better future for our, (and your) state of BiH as well,” they concluded in the letter.
