Srebrenica

Every year the same questions arise. Questions of which we will never get an answer of. Questions like – how much is a life worth?
How could Europe watch these young men and children die?
How could a human being be so evil to kill innocent people only because they had the “wrong names”?
How can these watch themselves in the mirror? What do they say to their children ? Are they proud of having killed “the enemy”? Even if the enemy was a 13-year old boy? Are their children questioning them as the germans did with their parents?
My million dollar question is -how could you trust a Chetnik would not do anything to you?Why give yourself up to them?
How could you give up the only safe thing that kept you alive- your weapon…(even if the president asks for it)? Be it give it to UN soldier or any other soldier? What was in your mind when you did this fatal mistake?
I hope for your sake that I am wrong and that there is a God that will punish every single one of these criminals having destroyed so many lives while they themselves go on with their life making their own families, getting children and watch their children and grandchildren grow up. All the precious things that they stole from over 8000 boys and men. To avoid this to happen again I believe only in this old latin saying “If you want peace, prepare for war“.

Svake godine ista pitanja postavljam. Pitanja na kojima nikad neću dobiti odgovor. Pitanja poput- koliko je jedan život vrijedan?
Kako je mogla Evropa gledati ubijanje mladih dječaka i muškaraca.
Kako može jedno ljudsko biće biti.toliko prokleto da ubija nevine ljude, samo zato što su imali “pogrešna imena”? Kako se mogu gledati u ogledalo? Šta kažu svojoj djeci? Jesu li ponosni što su ubili “neprijatelje”? Iako je neprijatelj bio dječak od 13 godina? Postavljaju li djeca zločinaca pitanja svojim roditeljima šta , kako i zašto? (Kako su radili njemci sa svojim roditeljima)
Moje najbitnije pitanje je kako su mogli vjerovati četnicima da im ništa neće uraditi i predati se njima? Kako su mogli predati jedinu stvar koja ih sigurno drži u život-pušku, ko god da je to naredio bio predsjednik ili ne. Bilo to dati unproforcu ili nekom drugom vojniku. Šta vam je bilo u mislima kad ste tu kobnu grešku uradili?
Za vašu dušu se nadam da sam u krivu i da bog postoji, da svi ovi dušmani koji su nanijeli toliku bol i koji su uništili toliko familija kojima su oduzeli životna pozitivna iskustva poput dobivanje djece i gledanje svojih unuka kako rastu.  Sve ono su vam uzeli dok oni te normalne i vrijedne stvari sami doživljavaju i uživaju.
Da se izbjegne ponovo ovakva fatalna greška ima jedna stara latinska izreka koja nije loša za zapamtiti: Ako hoćes mir, spremaj se za rat!

Pozitivno iz Bosne 1. dio / Positive things in Bosnia 1.st part

Being in Bosnia for vacation I want to bring the positive things, that we usually do not think of, out to you. If you have some suggestions for things one should visit, try or see I would be happy to hear.

Cakes:
One thing I adore in Bosnia is the huge choice of cakes. One of my favorites is the Boem cake that I have ate in so many places in Bosnia and Croatia and until now the best one is the one in the confectionary in the city of Bosanska Krupa. Last time I was there they had another new cake in their collection called Sand (I think it was) that was made of Cocos and was also really tasty.
Arriving in Tuzla we had a slight fall in our sugar levels so we bought a couple of different cakes and I don´t have to tell how thrilled Ada was with them.

Another cake I love is the chocolate souffle and I have eaten that cake in many places. Until now the best one was in Limoni in Munich, but I have to admit that I ate one as good as that one here in Bosnia. To be more specific in Bihac in Hotel Emporium. It was not only tasty BUT it was huge so I could really enjoyyy it, which is not the case in Limoni. In Limoni it is quite small cake so I always want a couple of more bites leaving me a little unsatisfied. It also costs something like 7 Euro in Limoni, and here it was half the price (or something like that). In any case if you are around Bihac then I recommend you to rest a moment and enjoy the soufflé.
p.s. what  is your favorite cake and where can one buy it?

Uvijek kad počnem pisati nešto kad sam u Bosni ispadne neki iritirani post jer se toliko živciram oko nekih bezmislenih stvari pa sam odlučila da svoje misli malo usmjerim u nešto pozitivno. Ako imate prijedloga šta zanimljivo vidjeti, probati ili posjetiti slobodno recite. Otvorena sam za sve.

Bosanski kolači:
Jedna stvar koja me svaki put oduševi je izbor kolača. Meni su naši kolači izvan lige švedima a pogotovo njemcima (nisu nikako po mom ukusu). Jedan od mojih par favorit kolača je boem kolač i do sada sam ga jela u pola Bosne ali najbolji je u slastičarnoj u Bosanskoj Krupi!! Imaju neku posebnu smjesu koja je BAŠ dobra :D. A ovaj put kad sam bila tamo imali su neki novi kolač sa kokosom čini mi se da se zvao pješčani kolač. Bio je isto pravo ukusan.
Kad smo došli u Tuzlu imali smo pad šećera pa smo kupili kolače i Ada je bila oduševljena s tim 😀
Inace sam isto ljubitelj souflea (ili kako se to pise) i jela sam ih na dosta mjesta. U Limoniju u Minhenu mi je bio najbolji do sad, ali moram priznati da sam jela jedan isto tako dobar u Bosni. I to u Bihaću u Hotelu Emporium. Ne samo što je bio ukusan, nego je bio i povelik da se baš moglo oćeifiti, što nije slučaj u Limoniju. Tamo je poprilično malen kolač (a košta 7 Eura) pa ostaneš željan još kolača. Tako da ako ste slučajno u prolazu kroz Bihać i volite souffle onda definitivno preporučujem jedan kolačić tamo. Ovdje je sa sladoledom od jagode, ali bih vam preporučila da uzmete od vanilije jer bolje paše sa čokoladom…

p.s koji je vas favorit kolac i gdje se moze kupiti? 😀
