After the public release of a video in which the war criminal Dario Kordić, responsible for the murders of Bosniaks in Ahmići, speaks in order to repeat everything he did during the war, the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Željko Komšić said that this statement of his speaks of the fact that everything what has been done so far to eliminate evil has not yielded results.
“Although there is no longer either the Yugoslavian National Army (JNA), nor the presidents of Serbia and Croatia, Slobodan Milosevic and Franjo Tuđman, Dretelj, Heliodrom and Omarska camps are closed, there are no enemy military units on the borders of BiH, and there are none in BiH either, almost everything has remained the same in terms of relations and plans. The same plans, the same threats, the same statements, the same behavior of the international community, the same naive people in Sarajevo,” said Komšić.
He points out in a press release that neither the Washington Agreement, nor the Dayton Agreement, nor The Hague nor its prosecutions and courts helped this, because criminals are ready to repeat their crimes in the name of their peoples, ideas, big-state plans, in the name of evil itself.
“Millions and millions of dollars, BAM, Euros, were spent on installing ‘false political correctness’, on new ‘Yuteles’, spent on the ‘culture of closing one’s eyes and concealing the truth’, with the hope that everything will resolve itself. Nothing yielded results,”says Komšić.
He notes that Kordić and others would do everything again and spend time in the same way, but there is still no understanding of what the essence of the problem actually is.
“As long as people like this are celebrated as rehabilitated national heroes, not more than Čović himself, HDZ, Bradara, Vlaisavljević, but also from the ‘ordinary’ common people (the same applies to all other criminals and all other common people), we have to come to terms with that evil is among us. Everything that has been done so far to eliminate this evil has not yielded results. Or maybe we weren’t even looking for him, lying to ourselves and others,” said Komšić in a statement.
Kordić was sentenced by the Hague Tribunal to 25 years in prison for war crimes, including the one in the village of Ahmići, when Croatian National Defense (HVO) units under his command killed 116 civilians, including 11 children.
