That can only help us to get a true picture of the conflict. This
region has always been under the influence of great powers. Against
such a background we have always been prone to considering ourselves
victims (backyard psychology) rather than to engaging in
introspection.
Cruelty in family and education, violence against
women or family violence could be the roots of a conflict and even
cause structuring of an individual capable of committing the gravest
crimes. Genocide is always committed against vulnerable groups and
the violence against these groups is always gradual - from the
mildest to the gravest forms. Genocide is always established at the
highest political - as a political goal. Denial of genocide is a
state strategy.
Some questions and comments by students:
1. What are the chances of having a course on war
crimes introduced in domestic high education system?
2. The "victim" syndrome is deep-rooted in these
areas. We need time to come to grips with our past and learn all the
information. Maybe this topic still needs to be postponed for a
while.
3. There must be no postponement. We have already
wasted too much time.
4. By the textbook "National History of Serbs"
taught at the Faculty of Law the history of Serbs ends in 1941. Not
a word what happened after 1941.
