Summary/Abstract: Interview with Hikmet Karčić. Investigation of the genocide committed over Bosniaks is a time taking process which requires multi-perspective scientific research which must not be in any way hampered by political agendas or poor quality research-work activities. When discussing genocide it is very important to raise international awareness of the topic as well in order to prevent any attempts of hiding the facts or changing the narrative in regards to the character of the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina and crimes against Bosniaks. In the same context we have to recognise an urgent necessity for new methods of presentation of facts about genocide to Bosnian and Hezegovinian public as well as to the international community. Dr. Hikmet Karčić, associate researcher at the Institute for the Islamic Tradition of Bosniaks and a genocide expert, here speaks about these and other topics regarding the genocide investigation and memorialisation of it. He worked at the Institute for Missing Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Center for Advanced Studies, and was a coordinator for the project named “Mapping the concentration camps and places of detention in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992- 1995” at TPOS Association (Association for Transitional Justice, Responsibility and Remembrance). He was also the producer of documentary movies “Dani ubijanja“(Days of Killings” and “Na Drini krvavi Višegrad“(Bloody Višegrad on Drina). He is the author of a number of books here we mention: “Apelacijama do istine” (By Appeals to the Truth) published by Konrad Adenauer Foundation and his last book “Torture, Humiliate, Kill” which was published by the University of Michigan Press.
