KONTINUITET GENOCIDA NAD BOŠNJACIMA U VIŠEGRADU: STUDIJA SLUČAJA SELO BARIMO / THE CONTINUITY OF GENOCIDE OF THE BOSNIAKS IN VIŠEGRAD: VILLAGE BARIMO CASE STUDY

UDK 3221:141]:28 341.322.5(497.6 Visegrad)”1992/1995” Ideologija, politika i praksa stvaranja etnicki ciste srpske države, tzv. “Velike Srbije“, nalazila se u fokusu interesiranja velikosrpske ideologije, jos od vremena s kraja XVIII stoljeca. Ta i takva ideologija je figurirala s idejom stvaranja etnicki cistih teritorija na kojima bi iskljucivo i samo živjeli Srbi, a koja je podrazumijevala i teritoriju Bosne i Hercegovine. Za druge i drugacije, pa cak niti za nacionalne manjine, u tim zamislima nema mjesta. Takav projekt je bilo jedino moguce ostvariti putem nasilja, tj. kroz vrsenje strasnih i užasnih zlocina nad nesrbima, prije svega nad Bosnjacima u Bosni i Hercegovini, ukljucujuci i zlocin genocida. Pocev jos od Prvog svjetskog rata, zatim Drugog svjetskog rata, te u vremenu posljednje agresije na Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu u periodu 1992–1995. godine, evidentna je otvorena i neskrivena namjera stvaranja tzv. “Velike Srbije“. Ona je obilježena, prije svega, kontinuiranim vrsenjem brojnih oblika zlocina protiv covjecnosti i međunarodnog prava nad Bosnjacima, ukljucujuci i zlocin genocida. Posebno je to bilo izraženo na podrucju Istocne Bosne, ukljucujuci i grad Visegrad. Prezentirana studija slucaja na primjeru sela Barimo, kao istraživane mikrolokacije, jasan je pokazatelj kontinuiteta zlocina genocida nad Bosnjacima, ali i namjere zlocinaca o stvaranju etnicki cistih teritorija na podrucju Visegrada. Radi se, dakle, o kontinuitetu namjere i nastojanja velikosrpskih ideologa o uklanjanju svih Bosnjaka s podrucja Istocne Bosne i grada Visegrada, ukljucujuci i selo Barimo. Zakljucak je da je selo Barimo jasan pokazatelj kontinuiteta genocidnih namjera na podrucju Visegrada, ali i borbe Bosnjaka da, poslije svakog stradanja, nastoje opstati na tim prostorima, na kojima su vjekovima živjeli. Summary Ideology, politics and practice of creating ethnically clean Serbian state, so called “Great Serbia”, was in the focus of the interest of the Great Serbia ideology since the end of the 18 th century. That and such ideologies coexisted with the idea of creating ethnically clean territories inhabited by exclusively Serbian populace and it included the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is no place for the other and the different, not even as ethnic minorities, in these ideas. Such project was only possible to realise by using violence, by committing terrible and horrific crimes including genocide over non-Serbs, primarily over Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Starting with the First World War, in the Second World War and finally during the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995, intention to create “Great Serbia” was revealed and exposed evidently. It was marked by continuous crimes against humanity, violation of international law and genocide committed over Boisniak population. It was primarily evident in the region of eastern Bosnia including the city of Visegrad. The present case study plainly shows, through example of the village of Barimo which was used as research micro-location, the continuity of the crime of genocide over Bosniaks as well as intentions of perpetrators of these crimes to create an ethnically clean territory in the region of Visegrad including the nearby village Barimo. We conclude here that the crimes committed in the village of Barimo is a clear indicator of continuity of genocidal intentions behind the crimes in this region but also of the persistent will of Bosniaks to remain living in these territories where they have lived for centuries.
