Ured visokog predstavnika<\/span> Sarajevo,<\/span> Bosna<\/span> i<\/span> Hercegovina<\/span><\/p>\n

Va\u0161a<\/span> ekselencijo,<\/span><\/p>\n

Obra\u0107amo Vam se pismom u vezi s pitanjem od velike zabrinutosti. U entitetu Republika Srpska<\/span> osu\u0111eni po\u010dinioci i drugi koji su po\u010dinili zlodjela se po pravilu glorificiraju dok se pre\u017eivjelima<\/span> zabranjuje<\/span> ili<\/span> se<\/span> energi\u010dno<\/span> odvra\u0107aju<\/span> od<\/span> postavljanja<\/span> spomen<\/span> obilje\u017eja<\/span> \u017ertvama.<\/span> Klju\u010dno<\/span> je,<\/span> u<\/span> smislu<\/span> vladavine prava, restorativne pravde i pomirenja, braniti ljudsko pravo na istinu 14<\/sup><\/a><\/span> i ljudsko pravo na<\/span> memorijalizaciju. 15<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Pre\u017eivjelima iz koncentracionog logora Omarska u op\u0107ini Prijedor, na primjer, se ne dozvoljava<\/span> postavljanje spomen obilje\u017eja \u017ertvama. 16<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span> Omogu\u0107eno im je samo okupljanje na licu mjesta u trajanju od<\/span> nekoliko sati jedan dan svake godine kako bi odr\u017eali komemorativne govore i polo\u017eili cvije\u0107e pred<\/span> ozlogla\u0161enom<\/span> bijelom<\/span> ku\u0107om<\/span> gdje<\/span> su<\/span> zato\u010denici<\/span> mu\u010deni<\/span> i<\/span> ubijani.<\/span> Njihova<\/span> nastojanja<\/span> da<\/span> sa\u010duvaju<\/span> bijelu ku\u0107u i okolno zemlji\u0161te i da naprave spomen muzej i edukacioni centar se blokiraju. U okolnom<\/span> gradu Prijedoru postoji spomenik borcima Bosanskih Srba, ali se tamo \u010dlanovima porodica zabranjuje<\/span> postavljanje<\/span> spomen<\/span> obilje\u017eja<\/span> \u017ertvama,<\/span> uklju\u010duju\u0107i vi\u0161e<\/span> od<\/span> 100 djece<\/span> koja<\/span> su<\/span> ubijena.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nadalje, najmanje 122 zato\u010denika u koncentracionom logoru Barutni magacin, u blizini Kalinovika, su<\/span> prisilno odvedena na egzekuciju 5. augusta 1992. godine. 42 \u017ertve jo\u0161 uvijek nisu prona\u0111ene ni<\/span> identificirane. \u010clanovi porodica tra\u017ee da se objekat Barutnog magacina za\u0161titi i da se spomen muzej<\/span> osnuje u glavnoj zgradi na ovoj lokaciji koja se koristila za dr\u017eanje zato\u010denika, ali su njihovi naporni<\/span> onemogu\u0107eni. Va\u0161oj pa\u017enji ne bi smjelo proma\u0107i da na ulazu u Kalinovik, ta\u010dno uz put od logora,<\/span> posjetioce do\u010dekuje trometarski mural generala Mladi\u0107a koji salutira, mural koji pomno \u010duva<\/span> impozantna<\/span> \u010deli\u010dna<\/span> ograda. 17<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Tra\u017eimo<\/span> da<\/span> pru\u017eite<\/span> podr\u0161ku<\/span> pre\u017eivjelima<\/span> i<\/span> \u010dlanovima<\/span> porodica<\/span> u<\/span> njihovim<\/span> nastojanjima<\/span> da<\/span> se<\/span> uspostave<\/span> spomen<\/span> mjesta<\/span> tako<\/span> \u0161to<\/span> \u0107ete<\/span> iskoristiti<\/span> svoje<\/span> bonske<\/span> ovlasti<\/span> i<\/span> uspostaviti<\/span> za\u0161ti\u0107ena<\/span> nacionalna spomen mjesta na ovim \u201cmjestima bola\u201d 18<\/sup><\/a><\/span> gdje su po\u010dinjena zlodjela. Predla\u017eemo da ova<\/span> spomen mjesta uspostavite na mjestima kao \u0161to su Omarska i Barutni magacin na sli\u010dan na\u010din kako je<\/span> uspostavljen Memorijalni centar Srebrenica.<\/span> Memorijalni centar Srebrenica je uspostavljen u periodu<\/span> izme\u0111u 2000. i 2007. godine na osnovu \u010detiri odluke koje su donijela \u010detiri<\/span> visoka predstavnika koji su<\/span> se<\/span> sukcesivno smjenjivala na<\/span> toj<\/span> poziciji. 19<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Postoje brojna druga mjesta gdje su po\u010dinjena zlodjela u Keratermu i Trnopolju (u op\u0107ini Prijedor), u<\/span> ku\u0107i u Pionirskoj ulici, ku\u0107i na Bikavcu i mezarju Stra\u017ei\u0161te (u Vi\u0161egradu), te na raznim lokacijama u<\/span> Fo\u010di<\/span> koje<\/span> je<\/span> tako\u0111er potrebno za\u0161titi<\/span> u skladu<\/span> sa<\/span> \u017eeljom<\/span> udru\u017eenja<\/span> pre\u017eivjelih.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jo\u0161 jedna lokacija koju je potrebno ozna\u010diti i za\u0161titi je biv\u0161a Ko\u0161tana bolnica (trenutno napu\u0161tena),<\/span> mjesto koncentracionog logora u Stocu gdje je uni\u0161tena plo\u010da posve\u0107ena \u017ertvama. 20<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span> Udru\u017eenja<\/span> pre\u017eivjelih<\/span> su<\/span> tra\u017eila<\/span> da<\/span> se<\/span> ovo<\/span> mjesto za\u0161titi<\/span> kao<\/span> spomen mjesto,<\/span> ali<\/span> su sprije\u010deni<\/span> u<\/span> svojim <\/span>nastojanjima. 21<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span> Prema Presudi Pretresnog vije\u0107a MKSJ-a, HVO [Hrvatsko vije\u0107e obrane] je izvr\u0161ilo<\/span> prenamjenu Ko\u0161tane bolnice kako bi se koristila kao mjesto nezakonitog zato\u010denja Bosanskih<\/span> Muslimana iz ove zajednice, zato\u010denika koji su bili izlo\u017eeni redovnom te\u0161kom premla\u0107ivanju<\/span> seksualnom zlostavljanju i ubistvima. \u0160est visokih du\u017enosnika Herceg-Bosne je osu\u0111eno za u\u010de\u0161\u0107e u<\/span> zajedni\u010dkom zlo\u010dina\u010dkom poduhvatu s ciljem da se protjera muslimansko stanovni\u0161tvo sa teritorije na<\/span> koju je Herceg-Bosna (kao dio \u201cVelike Hrvatske\u201d) 22<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span> polagala pravo. Koncentracioni logor u Ko\u0161tanoj<\/span> bolnici<\/span> u Stocu je<\/span> bio dio ovog<\/span> eliminacionisti\u010dkog zlo\u010dina\u010dkog poduhvata.<\/span><\/p>\n

Danas, unato\u010d nedavno donesenom zakonu protiv negiranje genocida i protiv glorifikacije osu\u0111enih<\/span> ratnih zlo\u010dinaca, brojne provokativne statue, plo\u010de, plakati, murali i slogani u Republici Srpskoj i dalje<\/span> ukazuju na to da su<\/span> po\u010dinioci genocida i<\/span> drugih zlo\u010dina heroji. Statue u<\/span> Prijedoru, Bijeljini te na<\/span> drugim mjestima, javno veli\u010daju \u201csrpske branioce\u201d ili \u201csrpske borce\u201d. Ne mjestu sa kog je mural Ratku<\/span> Mladi\u0107u uklonjen u Fo\u010di, prate\u0107i slogan \u2014govore\u0107i o Mladi\u0107u\u2014 glasi: \u201cU vatri i oluji tvoje ime<\/span> Republikom Srpskom bruji\u201d. 23<\/sup><\/a> Jo\u0161 jedan plakat na kom je prikazan general Mladi\u0107 je slu\u017ebeni i trajni<\/span> inventar na zgradi op\u0107ine u blizini spomenutog slogana u Fo\u010di.<\/span> Pored toga, 25. avgusta se u Vi\u0161egradu<\/span> pojavio mural na kom je prikazana Mladi\u0107eva \u0161apka sa sloganom \u201cTvoja \u010dasna borba, na\u0161a vje\u010dna<\/span> sloboda\u201d. 24<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Veli\u010danje ratnih zlo\u010dinaca, slavljenje njihovih zlo\u010dina i zabranjivanje spomen obilje\u017eja za \u017ertve u<\/span> Republici<\/span> Srpskoj<\/span> se<\/span> mogu<\/span> posmatrati<\/span> kao<\/span> strategija<\/span> zastra\u0161ivanja<\/span> i<\/span> ponovne<\/span> traumatizacije<\/span> pre\u017eivjelih<\/span> kako bi se sprije\u010dio njihov povratak u domove i zajednice iz koji su nasilno protjerani. Na taj na\u010din,<\/span> Republika Srpska nastavlja s provo\u0111enjem svojih osniva\u010dkih nastojanja, zapo\u010detih 1992. godine, da se<\/span> ostvari etni\u010dka homogenosti, gnusnih nastojanja koja su presu\u0111ena kao genocid i zlo\u010dini protiv<\/span> \u010dovje\u010dnosti. Takve prakse predstavljaju kr\u0161enje Aneksa 7 Dejtonskog sporazuma kojim se osigurava<\/span> pravo<\/span> na<\/span> povratak izbjeglica. 25<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pored toga, negiranje genocida, glorificiranje ratnih zlo\u010dinaca, i slavljenje genocida, jesu jasni<\/span> pokazatelji da bi se zlodjela mogla ponoviti. 26<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span> Ovo pitanje je od najve\u0107e hitnosti. Takve negatorske<\/span> prakse zatvaraju mogu\u0107nost restorativne pravde i onemogu\u0107avaju budu\u0107nost pre\u017eivjelima. Za\u0161ti\u0107ena<\/span> nacionalna spomen mjesta koja mi predla\u017eemo bi se samim svojim postojanjem odupirala negiranju i<\/span> po\u010dela podizati nivo spoznaje i mijenjati dru\u0161tvenu svijest u Republici Srpskoj u pravcu mogu\u0107nosti<\/span> pomirenja.<\/span><\/p>\n

U<\/span> svojim<\/span> javnim<\/span> nastupima aludirali<\/span> ste na istinske napore u<\/span> Njema\u010dkoj<\/span> da se iza\u0111e na kraj<\/span> s<\/span> pro\u0161lo\u0161\u0107u. Postojao istinski javni konsenzus u pogledu potrebe da se osiguraju spomen za \u017ertve<\/span> holokausta<\/span> i<\/span> protiv<\/span> fa\u0161izma.<\/span> Od<\/span> \u201cSpomenika<\/span> ubijenim<\/span> Jevrejima<\/span> Evrope\u201d<\/span> u<\/span> Berlinu,<\/span> preko<\/span> \u201cSpomenika<\/span> protiv fa\u0161izma\u201d u Hamburgu-Harburg, do \u201cStolpersteinea,\u201d Njema\u010dka je prihvatila oblike<\/span> memorijalizacije koji imaju duboki smisao.<\/span> Uz Va\u0161e kori\u0161tenje bonskih ovlasti, vjerujemo da \u0107e<\/span> za\u0161ti\u0107ena nacionalna spomen mjesta kojima se priznaju progon i patnja \u017ertva genocida uskoro postati<\/span> realnost<\/span> u Bosni<\/span> i Hercegovini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hvala Vam na razumijevanju.<\/span> S<\/span> po\u0161tovanjem,<\/span><\/p>\n
