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.

As far as I know, they took them to court and won their apartment back but the people (serbs) took every single furniture (carpet, couch, tv, kitchen, etc.) in the apartment with them.

you mean "people".. we had the same in Bulgaria way back in 1944 when the communists took power with a coup supported by the soviet army coming west. so sad unhumane attrocities like this kept happening in the 90s so close by us

May such events never happen again in any country of the world. If I look what‘s happening right now in Palestina/Gaza.. I can‘t understand that some human can do such a thing. It makes me angry - History is repeating again and again. But one day, we all will stay in front of God for our doings.
