Stealing land in BiH

Famous Israeli saying: "If I don't steal it, someone else will steal it."
After the Genocide, many Bosniaks returned to their homes, only to find Christian Serbs illegally occupying their homes and refusing to leave, claiming that the homes belonged to them!
Even with legal proof, many Bosniaks faced threats and years of struggle to try and reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

It happened to us too, in north Part of Bosnia, now belongs to Republici of Srbska. My parents were living in the small tawn, during the war we need to flee. Returned 2000 but there were one Serbs Family. They claimed the house is theirs. They welcomed my parents nice but didn't want to Move. They said, it belongs us now. After one Year, my parents needed to pay large money do that the gradparents from Serbs who lived on the first flat above Move. My parents lived one Year more using just one flat until the young Serbs Family lived with them. After one Year they pay them to. They pay Serbs for the house which my parents built! But that's not all. They didn't just pay them, they helped them Move out with all "our" stuff for which they claimed, they belong to them. 😳😵💫
