#Sarajevo #Safari, very interesting analysis, looking forward to the next episodes. Shouldn’t western journalists be less superficial in their quest for visibility?

[Michael Martens @Andric1961]

"Sarajevo Safari" – a triumph for the producers of fake news – and for audiences who love to consume cheap sensationalism. A media-critical thread. (Warning: veeery long.( 1/48:

“Sarajevo Safari” – the alleged story of wealthy foreigners coming to Sarajevo during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia to shoot and kill people for money (and for fun) – is not a story about Sarajevo, or the war in Bosnia. But it is very much a story about unprofessional journalism.⬇️

Četnički antifašizam na Kozari...
Istoričar Hrvoje Klasić o istorijskom revizionizmu... Bitka na Kozari je jedna od najdramatičnijih trenutaka u srpskoj povijesti. Ne Kosovo polje, nego bitka na Kozari.🗣️"Draža Mihajlović šalja svoje izaslanstvo Anti Paveliću. Izaslanstvo, prima vrh NDH. Draža moli hranu, ljekove, municiju i prolaz prema Austriji. Pavelić sve dopušta kao svom savezniku. Prije toga mi imamo čitav niz dokumenta o zajedničkoj suradnji i o zajedničkoj borbi ustaša i četnika. Uostalom, bitka na Kozari je jedna od najdramatičnijih trenutaka u srpskoj povijesti. Ne Kosovo polje, nego bitka na Kozari. 50 -60 tisuća ljudi, Srba, civila, je odvedeno u Jasenovac. Šta u tom trenutku rade četnici? Jel se oni bore? Ne, oni drže krug okolo, dakle idu ustaša i Njemci na Kozaru, a četnici drže krug okolo da ne bi se neko probio... I sad, kako su ti četnici, sad ti meni reci, kako su ti četnici koji 44' godine prilikom borbe za Srbiju, kada partizani i Crvena armija oslobađaju Srbiju, a oni zajedno na platnom spisku su njemačke vojske, kako su oni antifašisti?"

Il candidato per la posizione di #HighRepresentative in #Bosnia è un diplomatico italiano, ma scelto da #Trump e sostenuto da una lobby vicina a #Dodik.

Why was the U.S pushing so hard for the italian candidate? And what if they withdraw? They have no troops and no money in BiH as of now….

[US Embassy Sarajevo @USEmbassySJJ]

It was publicly and widely expected that at the June 3-4 meeting, the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) would select a new High Representative to provide stability for Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH).

The U.S. delegation strove to achieve a consensus around a commonly shared vision and Italy’s well-qualified candidate, the experienced diplomat Ambassador Antonio Zanardi Landi. 

Secretary Rubio described Italy’s candidate to Congress as a “gentleman that we think would do a good job of helping provide some stability to that position.” 

The United States takes note of the European failure to reach consensus around a European candidate and is disappointed these divisions prevented the PIC from fulfilling its task to elect a new High Representative. 

European indecisiveness, and the PIC’s abdication of its own duty toward BiH, is forcing the United States to reconsider our role in the current international presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

U javnosti se uveliko očekivalo da će na sastanku održanom 3. i 4. juna Vijeće za implementaciju mira (PIC) izabrati novog visokog predstavnika kako bi osigurao stabilnost za Bosnu i Hercegovinu (BiH).

Delegacija SAD-a nastojala je postići konsenzus oko zajednički prihvaćene vizije i visoko kvalificiranog italijanskog kandidata, iskusnog diplomate ambasadora Antonija Zanardija Landija.

Sekretar Rubio opisao je italijanskog kandidata pred Kongresom kao „gospodina za kojeg mislimo da bi dobro obavio posao pomažući da se osigura određena stabilnost toj poziciji“.

Sjedinjene Američke Države primaju k znanju evropski neuspjeh da se postigne konsenzus oko evropskog kandidata i razočarane su što su te podjele spriječile PIC da ispuni svoj zadatak i izabere novog visokog predstavnika.

Evropska neodlučnost i odustajanje PIC-a od vlastite dužnosti prema BiH prisiljavaju Sjedinjene Američke Države da preispitaju svoju ulogu u trenutnom međunarodnom prisustvu u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Excellent thread, covering many different issues... and setting the right frame.

"Sarajevo Safari" and Der Spiegel vs. Vučić, update:
The article against which Serbia’s president was temporarily able to obtain an injunction (einstweilige Verfügung) from a court in Hamburg is now back online. Here is what happened:

Steal from the poor (country) to give to the rich (family).
No #Bosnian politicians are putting their face behind this deal.
Of course, elections are only 4 months away.
Will anybody have the guts to stand up against it?

“This could be the most important infrastructure project ever in 🇧🇦,” says one of the country’s top officials, who, like others, asks to remain anonymous to discuss sensitive negotiations.

The company has no record of even attempting anything close to this scale. What it does have is personal connections to Donald Trump.

The @guardian investigation shows how 🇺🇸 presidency blurs line between policy and enrichment of American ruling family and those around it.

Two new system for face recognition in place in #Serbia. One comes from #Russia, one from #Japan. Of course, Russians and Serbs are brothers... no doubt who is the Big Brother in this case. And the younger brother needs to listen to the elder one..

The massacre of Meja and Korenica in 1999. In these two Kosovo villages, Serbian forces shot ca. 350 Albanians in revenge for 4 killed members of the Serbian police. Yet if you ask young Serbs about Meja & Korenica - most have never heard of those places.

A contact in Belgrade: “Serbia would like to join the Schengen area, where borders are invisible and meaningless. Within our country, we have already started to create such a reality: The borders between organized crime and the state are invisible and meaningless in Serbia.”
