All the officers who were in the Visegrad Brigade are pensioned here or are still in the Serbian Army. And the same thing is always repeated: Serbia did not take part in the war, but their officers did and their citizens did.
”It is very important that Milan and Sredoje Lukic were not indicted for command responsibility, they were the direct perpetrators of the most hideous war crimes”, says Natasa Kandic.
”Along with Milan Lukic were many other individuals, even women; sometimes he was a Serb, but when he was to be freed from jail in Belgrade then he was a citizen of another country. During the trial for crimes committed against Muslims from Sjeverin, we got a confirmation document that he was a member of the Republika Srpska Army. So he did not commit crimes that were not known of, Republika Srpska and Serbian authorities were fully aware of them. Every week he was in Belgrade, nobody had the intention to arrest him, because it was part of the strategy to full fill an aim with deportations and murders – the creation of a Serb state. So, Serbia is involved because all the officers who were in the Visegrad Brigade are pensioned here or are still in the Serbian Army. And the same thing is always repeated: Serbia did not part part in the war, but their officers did and their citizens did. And the officers and policemen who were present there, refused to help those who survived the live pyres. In that police they were surely people from Serbia”, says Natasa Kandic.
A women from Zvornik who testified against Lukic, a protected witness, said that she was “unfortunately Serb”. “She said that one day she saw Milan Lukic and another man who represented himself as a student from Novi Sad, cutting a man with knifes. She saw Milan Lukic, leading armed children when he and Mitar Vasiljevic murdered Medo Mulahasic on the Drina Bridge, and teaching children how to shoot before that” , says Natasa Kandic

One day Serbians will honour Natasa Kandic as the woman (actually one of the women) who rescued their nation’s honour.

Whenever I read something about Milan Lukic and his ilk I can only wish them a hideous and painful death. I hope Milan Lukic and those like him will rot in jail and never see the light of the sun again. (if they can’t be made to die a thousdand deaths.) They should be kept in solitary confinement without visits, without right to receive packges or to erceive or write letters, without parole or holidays from jail for the rest of their natural lives, and their mortal remains should be cremated and the ashes scattered so that their family may never erect a monument to their evil memory. That they have condemned themselves to Hell is something I need not emphasize here. But yes, indeed I wonder what kind of a mother produced such a monster? In any way, she made a lousy job of child-rasising, and she should be told that. That is, if she hasn’t doen teh only decent thing and died of shame.
