| Abstract: | As someone who’s been a quarter of a century in what used to be called the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - today commonly referred as “former Yugoslavia” - I am particularly interested in observing how things have developed since then. The beginning of the breakout of former Yugoslavia did not promise much. Many were aware that secession rarely takes place without violence. But the level of hatred and violence that took place in the 1990s, camps in which people were deprived of human dignity, massacre such as Srebrenica - all this compared to the relatively peaceful life in the ethnically mixed communities in former Yugoslavia did come as a shock to many. At the beginning of the new Millennium, we began to see a different picture of this post-Yugoslav space. Criminals were brought to justice. The truth about the atrocities, about mass graves was coming to surface. Of course, the wounds caused by the wars were not healing quickly. Reconciliation is a process that takes years decades... But, if one talks to people, especially those living in Bosnia Herzegovina, a country that was arguably seen most of the violence in the 1990s, “we have to move on”. |
