In dieser Folge von "Was tun, Herr General" schauen wir auf den Balkan. Dort tut sich gerade einiges. Ex-Nato-General Erhard Bühler hat jüngst eine Sicherheitskonferenz in Sarajevo besucht. Ausführlich sprechen wir auch über die Vergangenheit, die den Balkan bis heute prägt. Denn: Ende August ist der verurteilte Kriegsverbrecher Ratko Mladic gestorben. Er war Oberbefehlshaber der bosnisch-serbischen Armee während des Bosnienkrieges. Er war mitverantwortlich für die mehrjährige Belagerung von Sarajevo und das Massaker von Srebrenica. Bühler war selbst viel auf dem Balkan im Einsatz. Er kennt die jahrhundertelange Geschichte, die diese Region zu dem komplizierten Gebilde gemacht hat, das es bis heute ist. Er erzählt auch, wie es zum Bosnienkrieg kam und wer dabei gegen wen kämpfte. Und wie die Politik in Serbien noch bis heute davon geprägt ist.Wenn Sie Fragen haben: Schreiben Sie an general@mdraktuell.de oder rufen Sie kostenfrei an unter 0800 637 37 37.

Erschreckend finden die Alten Griechen Martin und Alex auch das Ergebnis der neuen Pisa Studie. Deutschland bricht auch hier mal wieder alle Rekorde, denn nie zuvor haben wir so schlecht abgeschnitten. Woran das liegt und woran das nicht liegt, versuchen die Herren Studienräte zu erklären. Dann gibt's noch eine neue Weltkarte und der "Schlächter von Srebrenica" Ratko Mladic ist tot, was Alex zum Anlass nimmt, seine Kriegsverbrechen in Bosnien einmal aufzuarbeiten. Tja, alles irgendwie ziemlich schlimm oder? Da kann nur noch die Paw Patrol helfen! Martin erklärt in der mündlichen Prüfung, wie die Fellfreunde Deutschland retten können.

Un funerale con tutti gli onori – anche se qualcuno si è prodigato a non volerlo chiamare funerale di stato. Stiamo parlando delle esequie di Ratko Mladic, ex generale serbo-bosniaco, una delle figure chiave della guerra in Bosnia Erzegovina durante gli anni 90. Stava scontando l'ergastolo all'Aja per genocidio e crimini di guerra e contro l'umanità. Sotto il suo comando era stato perpetrato l'assedio di Sarajevo e la campagna di pulizia etnica culminata con il genocidio di Srebrenica. Eppure oggi la morte di Radko Mladic non ha chiuso uno dei capitoli più bui della storia bensì sembra aver riaperto ferite profonde.  Com'è stato possibile che la Serbia tributasse a Mladic un tale onore, con tanto di volo di stato e migliaia di persone alle esequie? È davvero impensabile ad oggi immaginare un vero processo di riconciliazione e verità? E come si posiziona sul piano interno e internazionale – oggi con questa mossa - la Serbia di Vucic, scossa da quasi due anni di proteste degli studenti e prossima a nuove elezioni?  Ne parliamo a Modem con:Milovan Pisarri, storico ed esperto di nazionalismi dei Balcani, Università di Belgrado Nenad Stojanovic, professore di Scienze politiche all'Università di Ginevra Marija Milanovic, giornalista Swissinfo

The terror and helplessness of civilians caught in a genocidal war is a reality powerfully captured by Bosnian writer-director Jasmila Žbanić in her film Quo Vadis, Aida? “Quo vadis?” is a Latin phrase that became famous in Christian stories about persecution during the Roman Empire. It basically means “Where are you going?” and it was used as something God would say to a frightened believer. But in this case, the question has an urgently modern import, being posed to a woman named Aida, played by Jasna Đuričić, who faces the most catastrophic threat she could imagine. Aida is a Bosnian teacher, who in 1995 works as a translator for UN forces in the town of Srebrenica, near the Serbian border. After three years of siege, the UN officers assure town officials that the Serbian army will suffer airstrikes if they dare to attack. But when Serbia advances on the city, their promises prove empty, and the population flees to the UN base nearby, which is manned by Dutch forces. They only let a few thousand people into the building, leaving thousands more stranded outside the fence in the heat with no food or water. While continuing to work as a translator between Bosnian civilians and the Dutch UN forces, Aida frantically seeks a way to get her husband and two adult sons out of danger. She knows what the UN officers won't admit, that the promises of the Serbians, led by a war criminal, General Mladić, can't be trusted. Almost every moment in this movie is tense and gripping. The Serbs target men for executions because they suspect all Bosnian men of being fighters in anti-Serbian forces. When General Mladic wants to talk to the UN officers he also asks for some representatives of the people of Srebrenica, and when no one volunteers, Aida suggests her husband, who's a high school principal, as a way of getting him inside the compound. Mladic promises that all the civilians will be transported safely to another town in buses, and the UN people agree. But Aida senses that's not safe, so she hides her husband and sons in various places on the base in a difficult and dangerous effort at evasion. The Serbians arrive at the compound and demand to be let in to check for weapons, and we witness their deplorable and abusive behavior. Žbanić expertly evokes the overwhelming fear of people who are basically at the mercy of their worst enemies. While watching this, I kept thinking of the mistreatment and atrocities we're seeing now in Ukraine. The horrifying atmosphere of total war, which seems distant and abstract when we only hear about it, comes to life minute by minute in this film. The acting is amazing, making you forget that this is a movie and experience something close to the reality of state terrorism in a way that is impossible to forget. The film also shows us the conflict eventually ending, and society returning to what appears to be a more normal condition. Yet there are always those who escape the consequences of their crimes, while the suffering and trauma of their victims remain. Quo Vadis, Aida? is a great and towering indictment of our continued acceptance of violence and war.

Serge Brammertz is one of the world's leading international prosecutors. As Chief Prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, he leads the process of tracking down fugitive criminals from wars in the former Yugoslavia, and the genocide in Rwanda. “Every single person indicted is exactly the opposite of a hero. And the only heroes in fact are the survivors and victims.” Decades on from the brutal Balkan wars of the 1990s, genocide denial and glorification of war criminals remain rife in the region. In this episode, Serge Brammertz reflects on his life-long quest to bring war criminals to justice, on working with the survivors of genocide, and what he has learned about the human condition.
