Nova Kasaba, footbal field, from Makeshift. Place of execution of about 1500 men during Srebrenica Genocide. Bodies were burried on a nearby field, and reburried into secondary graves in other locations.

Calvert Journal published an article on my Makeshift today. It’s a special date, since also today, Radovan Karadzic was sentenced for 40 years of imprisonment and found guilty of genocide.

For sure I wasn’t personally involved in Bosnian War, but for last few years I tried to do as much as I can to envision this conflict - or rather the process of rewriting history that came afterwards - to the broader audience. I’m happy to hear that Karadzic, leader of Bosnian Serb fraction during the war, was sentenced - especially due to fact that the word genocide is still somehow suprisingly troubling for many, when speaking about what happened in Srebrenica, Visegrad or Prijedor region. One can ask, and propably one should ask, how the hell somebody can be found guilty of systematic killing of other people and yet still got something else than life sentence.

On the margin of all that: there’s a stupid meme, and I hope you don’t know it. It’s a silly catchy accordion loop, with a soldier playing the instrument, called Kebab Removal Guy. It’s obviously anti-muslim and spreads in right-wing part of Internet. Yet however the accordion player isn’t anonymous after all: his name is Novislav Djajic, and you guess it - he was a convicted war criminal during the Bosnian War. This short loop comes from a folk song / propaganda video called God will lead the Serbs. Or, as the lyrics say more specifically: Karadzic will lead the Serbs. Rot in hell, motherfucker.
