RAJILIĆ: CRIME WITHOUT PUNISHMENT IN ZALAZJE – INSULT TO SERB VICTIMS

BANJA LUKA, JULY 12 /SRNA/ – The President of the Association of Women Victims of War of Republika Srpska, Božica Živković Rajilić, stated that the unpunished crimes against Serbs in Zalazje near Srebrenica committed on Petrovdan in 1992 represent an insult to Serb victims.

"There are even testimonies that Naser Orić personally killed and massacred Judge Slobodan Ilić," Rajilić told SRNA. She pointed out that there is no justice for Serb war victims in BiH, as the perpetrators move freely as if nothing happened and as if it is normal for Serbs to be victims with no one held accountable. Today in Zalazje, Srebrenica municipality, the 33rd anniversary is being marked for the killing of 69 Serb civilians and soldiers in this village and in Sase, as well as in Biljača and Zagonje in the Bratunac area. In addition to the 69 killed and many wounded on that tragic Petrovdan, 22 Serbs went missing. Of the 22 missing, 10 were accidentally found and exhumed on June 10, 2011, from a mass grave in Zalazje during the search for killed Bosniaks. The remains of the victims were identified more than a year later and buried on Petrovdan in 2012, while two were exhumed, identified, and buried earlier. Ten of the missing have still not been found, and their traces disappear in the detention facility at the former Srebrenica police station. None of the captured survived, and no one has been held accountable for their killings.
