Almost all the papers report of the commemoration of Serbian victims in Kravice village which took place the other day. "Justice should equal for all," Mirko Sarovic, the president of the Republika Srpska (in Bosnia) is quoted as saying. In his view, the "Truth of all crimes committed against Serbs in the Bosnian war has not yet been revealed, although thousands of peaceful citizens died then. The papers "Politika," "Danas," "Vecernje Novine" and others mention that the commemoration ceremony was not attended by any of the representatives of the "international community." Apparently, the West is reluctant to pay heed the suffering of Serbs in Bosnia. It is noteworthy that the day before, at a mourning ceremony to commemorate Moslem victims in Srebrenica, the entire diplomatic corps from Sarajevo was present, Yugoslav papers say. Such a double-standard approach is disclosed in the Belgrade newspaper "Blic." It publishes an article about the plight of the families of Serbs missing in Kosovo. The fate of nobody out of 1,300 (according to the official statistics) missing Serb nationals, including over 300 children, has not been clarified so far. At that, most of those Serbs became missing after the deployment in Kosovo of the Kfor contingent and the US Civil Mission, the paper says. "At that time, Albanian terrorists would kidnap Serbs from wherever they like - from the streets, from homes, from workplaces, and even from hospital wards, the peacekeeping forces turning a blind eye to those occurrences, according to the "Blic." The kidnappings were accompanied by such evil deeds as torture, rape, murder. The relatives of those missing have desperately tried to find out anything, but their hopes are becoming slimmer and slimmer day after day. Interestingly, the fate of the missing Kosovo Serbs seems to be of no interest for the West which is so ostentatiously concerned with human rights all over the world. So far, it has only been concerned with the fate of Albanian terrorists serving their terms in Serbian prisons.
