Academics Sherbo Rastoder assessed that the non-inclusion of the Resolution on the genocide in Šahovići on the parliamentary agenda was "a simple political ruse" in which several parties participated, including the Bosniak Party (BS), which formally proposed it.

The BS proposal to put the Resolution on the genocide in Šahovići on the agenda of the Assembly was not put on the agenda on Tuesday, because 24 MPs voted for it, while 16 were against and 20 abstained.

In addition to that party, the Democratic Party of Socialists, the Citizens' Movement URA, the Croatian Citizens' Initiative and the Albanian Alliance, as well as Democrats' deputies, voted "for" Albin Ceman, te Pokreta Evropa sad (PES) Seid Hadzic.

The other deputies of the Democrats and the party of the former Democratic Front were against it, while the Socialist People's Party and other deputies of the PES abstained.

In a statement to "Vijesti", Rastoder pointed out that, before any initiative can be nominated, it is necessary to provide "support for the passage from all parliamentarians, especially from partners in the government", and that, according to claims from parliamentary clubs, such support was not requested from anyone.

"This further convinces us that it is a simple political ruse in which some should 'wash' themselves with that 'there, we tried', while others will triumphantly exclaim 'they are just an ikebana of the government that is there to wash our biographies, and we are carrying out our agenda in which we will heal every wound of ours and those of others will not touch us,'' he pointed out.

Rastoder said that he and the other members of the Committee to Mark the Centenary of the Genocide in Šahovići were not surprised by the fact that the resolution was not included in the agenda, and that the fact that they did not disband that organization is proof of that.

"Part of us had the illusion that after the discussion in the Parliament, we would put an end to another traumatic issue from the past of Montenegro. In this way, the current government 'extended the mandate of the Board' without realizing that after 100 there are 101,102, XNUMX... and until it is understood that this is a civilizational and not a political issue. We from the Committee have a hard time coming to terms with the opinion that in the Parliament of Montenegro there was a play on stage in which a group of deputies begged the "Duke" "let's put this to a vote." We know that you are against it, these others who pretend to be Europeans say that they will be restrained, and then we will be able to go before the people - here we tried, but they don't give,'' said the academician.

As he adds, those who have been following the work of the Assembly for a long time claim that it has never happened that a member of the ruling coalition nominated something for the agenda, and it was not accepted.

Rastoder points out that the essential question that should be asked of BS is "are you the government or extras and actors in a play playing with the fate of a people!?" and adds that the strongest minority party is part of the government in Bijelo Polje, "where it is most important".

"Evil tongues are speculating that you received an order from the 'Duke' to break up the coalition there. Before you even do that, the Committee will repeat the demands towards you, the same ones that are in the text of the Resolution that was not considered", said the academician to the Bosniak party he leads Ervin Ibrahimovic.

He said that the Committee demands that the local authorities provide an adequate location for erecting a memorial in memory of this crime and showing reverence for the innocent victims, but also that they arrange and mark all Muslim cemeteries, which, he adds, according to some information, there are 34 in the Vraneška valley.

"According to that, we are ready to arrange a meeting and a friendly gathering of the descendants of those expelled from the Vraneška valley with the current residents of that area," Rastoder said.

He adds that, as a Board, they would support the several times expressed interest of the descendants to invest in that region, primarily in the construction of catering facilities that would be able to host interested descendants of the exiles to visit the cemeteries of their ancestors or to introduce their relatives to the place of their origin.

"Is this request realistic? Yes, if you are the government! It is, if you introduce yourself to the representatives of the people - for whom the Šahovićs are the biggest trauma, and the basic issue of honor and dignity. It is not, if you pretend that you are the government and that you are in the government to protect the interests of your people. In any case, be that as it may, we believe that there is not a small number of those who would agree to any trade in national and any other dignity, because even the hardest armchair wears out over time, and the stain on the cheek remains. Or to quote the respected Reis Fejzić, 'The eternally bowed head begins to graze over time,'" said Rastoder.

Answering the question of what the further activities of the Committee will be, the academician said that, in the future, he will also ask all political and other social subjects in Montenegro to stand with them "against the evil that glorifies evil with silence", and that they will be strengthened in this by the support of the diaspora .

"We are sure that we will not wait for the next 100 years for someone to show mercy and say 'I'm sorry that we killed you for no reason,'" concludes Rastoder.

At the parliamentary session, the head of the PES caucus, Vasilije Čarapić, announced that in Barometer 26, the establishment of a special mechanism is planned, which will include working groups and parliamentary committees that will have expert support, and where such topics would be discussed "in an atmosphere of unity". and "seek a consensual path to the adoption of various resolutions".

Head of Parliament Andrija Mandic announced that in the office of that institution there is a large number of resolutions that have not yet come to order, and some of them have been standing since 2007.
