Going to Knin was always a special experience for me, but it was never a place where I felt threatened. No matter how much some Serbian media and riders of nationalism try to present that when Serbs go there, they automatically get a target on their forehead - it is not like that, coexistence exists
Vesna Milakara was born in 1966 in Donji Klasnić, in the municipality of Glina na Banija. At the age of eighteen, she married Pera Rudić, my father, and gave birth to me in 1987, and to Maja, my sister, the following year. We lived in Rudići, in Gornji Klasnić, until August 4, 1995. I am Mirko Rudić, journalist of "Vremena". This is how the testimony about the suffering of the Serbs from Krajina begins, which we are publishing again on the occasion of the anniversary of the start of the Croatian military-police action "Storm".
"Croatia celebrates the 'Storm', not thinking that more than 200.000 of its citizens of Serbian nationality had to leave their homes. At the same time, the government led by Prime Minister Vučić says that there was no genocide in Srebrenica, not even a word about Ovčara, about Prijedor and the cold storage facilities as well. They would only talk about reconciliation, without confrontation," Tatjana Tagirov wrote seven years ago. Some protagonists have disappeared from the main scene, some have changed positions, but the current turmoil surrounding Vučić's failure to go to Jasenovac confirms everything she said.
The current "defenders of Serbia" who make stars of the former commander of the Army of the Republika Srpska and proclaim him a hero, forget two facts: how the Kupreška vrata fell, a strategically more than important pass, and how the Croatian forces then climbed the Dinar, which gave them an open path for the conquest of Knin and the entire Krajina
Tanks and mopeds, self-propelled tractors and motocultivators, various types of tractors and heavy haulers, horse-drawn carriages attached to luxury "Mercedes", 13-year-old boys who have matured overnight behind the wheels of "jugić" or "tamić", crowds of old women in black move together in a column. crammed into tractor and truck trailers. From Oštrelje, from the command of the Second Krajina Corps of the VRS, I am sending the news that Croatian forces have entered Knin - this news has not been published by Tanjug until today
