“What do the residents of Srebrenica think about the announcements that there will be riots in Potočari for Easter and that they will be caused by Bosniaks? Do they feel like collateral damage of inciting rhetoric in the country, what do they say to those who easily say the words conflict and war,” Marinko Sekulić and Muhamed Avdić from Srebrenica explained.
At the beginning of the interview, Marinko Sekulić said that the people in Srebrenica are actually collateral damage of the current politicians.
“We are all collateral damage here, regardless of nationality. Everyone remembers the authorities of Srebrenica when they need to ask for something from the international community. People here talk about their misery and are looking at how they will survive,” he said.
Muhamed Avdić said that people live under pressure and are worried about their families.
“It’s certainly not easy to live under pressure. Certain families have moved out, some moved their movable property to safety. I hope the reason prevails. The situation is worse today than 16 years ago,” said Muhamed.
At the end of the conversation, Sekulić concluded, “The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina is over in the sense that there is no more shooting. The war was continued by politicians. War is waged by verbal politics. I hope people will vote to make something good.”
