Nakon objavljenih rezultata istraživanja počinjenih ratnih zločina po Gračanici – šutnja i ravnodušnost odzvanjaju na sve strane
After the publication of the results of the research on war crimes committed in Gračanica - silence and indifference echo on all sides

Summary/Abstract: Although we did not intend to dwell further on the difficult topic of our last issue in which we raised the question “Who killed civilians in Gračanica” - and generally the topic of prosecuting and impunity for war crimes (1992 - 1995), we cannot help but briefly reflect on the echoes of our research in the public and in certain institutions, primarily local ones, closest to us. We remind that immediately after the promotion of the issue on January 22, 2024, some of our initiatives and demands, as announced in the magazine and at its promotion, were sent in writing to the most important addresses in the local authorities in Gračanica and the Prosecutor’s Office of the Tuzla Canton with the aim of finally attempting to do something concrete regarding reporting and prosecuting war crimes at the local and wider level. At least what can realistically be done. As until the completion of this issue no response or positive reaction was received from those addresses, we decided to share that fact, whatever it may be, with the public, and we publish the facsimile of the sent letters in support of this review, hoping that something will still change for the better. Because it is difficult to accept the truth we have come to in our research - that no one has been held accountable for the war crimes committed in Gračanica so far, and it is even harder to reconcile with the fact (as it has started) that it will remain so. To prevent this from happening, we have done what we could here in this magazine. We researched and listed all war crimes committed in the area of Gračanica. We forwarded the research results, along with suggestions on what to do next, to our officials and institutions “for further action,” writing to them with optimism and conviction that we are knocking on the right doors. We also sent the same materials to the local leaderships of veterans’ associations. Unfortunately, we received silence echoing painfully from all those addresses. Instead of support, the undersigned of these lines is already suffering the consequences for taking it upon himself to investigate, propose, and write to “improper” addresses. The silence from those addresses is essentially a message that such writers can continue to be done in vain. After all, no one cares, which is at least regrettable - if not lamentable.
