Sabina Ćudić speaks on BBC Radio about Ratko Mladić glorification

Today, Sabina Ćudić appeared live on BBC Radio, where she spoke about the glorification of Ratko Mladić in Serbia and Republika Srpska, the authorities’ attitude towards war crimes, threats against victims and those who speak about the genocide, as well as the responsibility of European leaders.

“The scenes from Serbia and Republika Srpska are devastating on several levels. First, on a personal level, to witness this as someone who survived the siege of Sarajevo as a child, and then on the level of understanding that in 2026 you have to warn the leaders of Serbia and Republika Srpska not to glorify genocide,” Ćudić said.

Speaking about the threats faced by victims and those who publicly point to Ratko Mladić’s genocidal legacy, Ćudić said that her family had also received threats, CE Report quotes FENA.

“In addition to the commemoration and glorification, there are also threats against victims and everyone who has pointed to Ratko Mladić’s genocidal legacy. Among them, my family also received threats, only for us to discover during the investigation that the person responsible was a minor,” Ćudić said.

Ćudić attributed responsibility for the atmosphere in which war criminals are glorified and their legacy normalized to the authorities of Republika Srpska and Serbia.

“I blame the authorities of Republika Srpska and Serbia for naming streets after war criminals, for glorifying war criminals in school textbooks, and for the fact that such children are the product of parents who vote for such people and authorities that glorify criminals.”

She concluded her appearance by calling on listeners in the United Kingdom and around the world to imagine a commemoration of Himmler or Eichmann in Europe, in Berlin, in 1976, thirty years after the Second World War, with the highest state honors, while the victims and Europe looked on.
