Foreword

Srebrenica is a small town in the East of the former Yugoslavian republic (and today the state, founded with a baptism of fire by NATO) of Bosnia-Herzegovina, an enclave in the Serbian area of settlement inhabited mostly by Muslims until the mid-1990s.
But Srebrenica was more: in the constituent republic which was soon to be occupied by UN and NATO troops and torn by civil war, it was a (pseudo-)demilitarised "safe area", installed by the occupying powers, in addition to Žepa, Goražde, Sarajevo, Tuzla and Bihać. All of these "safe areas" were located in areas inhabited mostly by Serbs but were under UN or (which is the same thing) NATO control. Under the protection of the foreign occupying forces, the Muslims, who were anything but "demilitarised", being equipped with modern weapons (who were also described in the witness statements from surviving Serbs as "Ustaša" or "Turks"), launched attacks on the surrounding Serbian villages, whose inhabitants they manhandled bestially, tortured and slaughtered. This happened in the area around Srebrenica from 1992 until the summer of 1995, when Serb forces took the town without a fight (!), and this documentation is about the crimes committed against Serbian civilians that have remained unpunished to this day: Srebrenica – what really happened.
But Srebrenica is even more: it is, when Western politicians and their aligned, US-controlled media mention its name, a topos charged with powerful emotions, a gruesome, bloodthirsty metaphor, in which racism, fascism, genocide, chauvinism, imperial nationalism, ethnic cleansing, mass rape – in short, all of the tried and tested labels for politically correct baiting of the last two decades – are not only uttered, but shouted deafeningly into one’s ears. And let it be noted: the Serb is always the murderer, just like in World War I, just like in Hitler’s invasion of Yugoslavia, and now for the third and presumably last time. The US Empire and its vassals have achieved the perversion of facts that allows the Serbs, instead of being, as they were, the victims of a genocide perpetrated by the Catholic Church and the Nazis, to be portrayed as a fascist people of perpetrators. Clinton, former German SPD Chancellor Schröder and former Green Foreign Minister Fischer are the political executors of Hitler’s legacy.
"Srebrenica" in its official version is a propaganda lie that will not become the truth however loudly and frequently it is repeated. What the Sender Gleiwitz was to the Nazis, the little town of Srebrenica is to NATO.
In proportion to the size of this lie is the scale of the crime itself, which was only made possible by the lie in the first place; it can only be compared with the allegedly murdered incubator babies and the alleged weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. As was taking place at the same time in Iraq, tens of thousands of people fell victim to the economic sanctions that had been imposed on Serbia since 1992. In spring 1999, the remains of Yugoslavia was bombed for eleven weeks by NATO, and then the historical and religious core of Serbia, the Amselfeld ("Kosovo"), was amputated, occupied and, in violation of the relevant UN stipulations, which guaranteed the territorial integrity of the rump of Yugoslavia, "released into independence". Now, 15 years later, this lie is being warmed up again, because now it is time to pass judgements on both the political and military leadership of the Serbs and ordinary combatants in show trials conducted by the victors and bury them alive for decades in prisons – provided, of course, that they have not already died there under dubious circumstances. And the world will discover, apart from the bawling in the obligatory five-minute hate broadcast, nothing of importance, least of all on the internet. It is ghostly: Radovan Karadžić or Vojislav Šešelji, whose adherents number millions, mutate into media monsters, stereotypes of terror. The ruling class has undoubtedly learned since the Nazis’ debacle in the Reichstag fire trial of Georgi Dimitroff et al: the lying runs like clockwork, and technology makes it possible worldwide. The propaganda "Srebrenica" is NATO’s Auschwitz fake.
Srebrenica, as it really was: one of hundreds of war zones in Bosnia-Herzegovina, torn apart by the civil war between catholic Croats, orthodox Serbs and Muslims forcibly converted under Turkish rule. Just like the Nazis, the US imperialists subjugated the country by using the Islamic-Catholic axis, and the lie ruled right from the start: the Bosnian Serbs are supposed to have killed more than 250,000, while it has been proved that a total of between 30,000 and 60,000 people of all the parties to the civil war died; the evil, evil Serbs are supposed to have "systematically mass-raped" 60,000 women, no, 40,000, no, 20,000, until finally 119 documented cases remained (without the Serbian rape victims, of course) etc., etc. The propaganda "Srebrenica" is to a certain degree the generic term of this orgy of lies that has been raining down on our heads for years. There was fighting in the real Srebrenica too – of course, one almost is willing to say – resulting in about 2000 Muslims dying in battle. There are serious studies that exist on this matter, none more exemplary than that presented by the co-author of this documentation, Alexander Dorin (‘Srebrenica – Die Geschichte eines salonfähigen Rassismus’, Berlin 2010), the Bulgarian Germinal Civikov and several others. Admittedly, their voices are faint, which is inevitable under a worldwide regime of censorship.
But before the propaganda "Srebrenica" there were real crimes committed in the same region, which have been suppressed, kept silent, covered up, swept under the carpet: because they were committed against Serbs. And these are what this documentation is about. Alexander Dorin has spared neither effort, time nor money in his years of painstaking research in order to bring these denied facts to light, and without a stroke of luck – in the form of a meeting with the co-author Zoran Jovanović – he still would not have succeeded. What they have brought to light is horrendous but none the less true for that. (Will some state censorship authority spring into action this time too, acting on behalf of "youth protection", "misogyny", "racism" or whatever? We’ll see…)
In any case, it has become possible for the unbiased observer to hear the proverbial "other side", whose voice would otherwise have been silenced for all time – a sufficient, indeed urgent, reason for this publication.

Zoran Jovanović:

Zoran Jovanović graduated in physics from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the Unversity of Belgrade. During his 30 years of work as a journalist, he was one of the founders of the newspaper Vlaseničke novosti and of the radio and TV station Radio-TV Vlasenica (VRT). During the Yugoslavian Civil War, he was head of the Drina Corps Information Service in the Serbian-Bosnian Army. Between 1992 and 1995, he observed and documented as an eyewitness numerous crimes against the Serbs in the region around Srebrenica, committed by Muslim death squads under the command of war criminal Naser Orić. In the course of further research, Zoran Jovanović died on July 13th, 2013 under unexplained, extremely mysterious circumstances.

Alexander Dorin:

Alexander Dorin lives as a freelance publicist in Switzerland. His book In unseren Himmeln kreuzt der fremde Gott – Verheimlichte Fakten der Kriege in Ex-Jugoslawien (In our Skies the Foreign God is Cruising – Concealed Facts about the Wars in Former Yugoslavia), published in 2001, can be considered a standard work on the war crimes committed by NATO against Yugoslavia. His most recent works are Srebrenica – Die Geschichte eines salonfähigen Rassismus (Srebrenica – The History of a Presentable Racism) and, together with Zoran Jovanović: Srebrenica – what really happened. Suppressed Facts about the Massacres committed against Serbs 1992-1995.
