Nenad began the set behind the piano and performed a new ballad: “Everything is Forever.” The song was in the mood of most of Nenad’s previous rich resume of recordings, but it managed to be both melancholy and optimistic. Perhaps that is possible when one has a long track record of engagement on and off the stage. We hope to see more of Nenad’s vault full of talent and vision into the future, and the audience that night certainly was left looking for more.

A Diplomatic "Hunting Party" – part 2 and 3

A Diplomatic "Hunting Party" – facts never published before by Ms. Hartmann – part 1
Muhamed Sacirbey, Florence Hartmann and Sylvie Matton speak out. Ms. Hartmann makes damning revelations about the betrayal of justice in her new book “Peace & Punishment.”. Were the Big Powers in complicity to ethnic cleansing? Twist of fiction and reality. Film “The Hunting Party” with Richard Gere talks about the same subject in the same manner…as fiction. The book “Peace and Punishment” talks about the same subject in the same manner…as reality with documents. And they came out at the same time. Coincidence, hard reality or historical materialism ? Hartmann, Matton and Sacirbey speak of the evidence and the consequences for BiH, Croatia, the region and the victims. CROWN reports, you decide.
Muhamed Sacirbey: Civilization where religion is no longer denigrated

The 12 year anniversary of the genocide of Srebrenica July 11th 1995 – 2007
is a change in both tone and commemoration. For the first 5 years, Except for the still grieving mothers and family of the mostly yet unidentified victims, no one dared even observe the anniversary. We were lectured that it was not consistent with Dayton for Bosnians and Herzegovinians to scratch an old wound best left untouched.
Mo Sacirbey: A Convenient Genocide, in a fishbowl
They preach but do not confess. They demand forgetfulness but ask for no forgiveness. Perhaps they believe that by preaching to the victims, they will then avoid accountability for their own failings. Their sermons cannot go unchallenged. These are efforts at rewriting history.
