The hundredth anniversary of the horrific crime in Šahovići was marked

The crime was kept silent for decades, and it was first mentioned by Milovan Đilas in the book "Besudna zemlja". In order for the horrific event from Šahovići to be etched more permanently in the memory and history of Montenegro, the Bosniak Party submitted the Resolution on the genocide in Šahovići to the parliamentary procedure.

In the main city gasulhana in Bijelo Polje, the hundredth anniversary of the terrible crime was marked in what was then Šahovići, now Tomaševo, when, according to various historical sources, between 120 and 1.200 citizens of the Islamic religion were killed.

The rest of the Muslims from that area had their houses burned down, so they found refuge outside of Montenegro, while Šahovići was settled by Orthodox Christians and the name of the place was changed to Tomaševo.

No one was held accountable for this crime, which happened in peacetime, it was kept silent for a long time, and the Bosniak Party is demanding the adoption of a resolution in the Assembly that would characterize it as genocide.
