🧵 I’ve just voted Yes in the independence referendum. It felt needed. This is a way for us to raise our voice.

Wherever we go as Bosniaks, we don’t dare use our own greeting, ‘Selam Alejk’, we don’t dare carry out religious ceremonies. This referendum is everything to us. It’s our chance to have our own voice.

I couldn’t wait for this moment, to have the confidence to say that I am a Bosniak, Abdulah Halilović.

Mum and Dad have voted for Bosnian independence.

BREAKING: Bosniaks in Rogatica have been forced into partitioning the town, including its police force. SDS Rogatica Leader Rajko Kušić has created a paramilitary unit of 40-50 men.

BREAKING: Rogatica Serb ‘crisis staff’ have ordered the town’s Bosniak population to be dismissed from their jobs and for their movement to be restricted.

BREAKING: Serbs have declared ‘the establishment of the Serb municipality of Rogatica’. SDS Rogatica leader Rajko Kušić has ordered all Muslims in the municipality to surrender their weapons, under the threat of arrest and/or expulsion.

Like rarely before in its recent history, the Serb people of Bosnia and Herzegovina have shown all their strength and all their determination to never be a servant or slave to Islamic extremism.

We are witnessing the birth of an Islamic island within our country.

An independent Bosnia as it is being offered by veiled Islamic fundamentalism is not acceptable to the Serbs of Bosnia. It would be equal to the empire of the Ottomans, which remains in our memory.

The Serb nation must not, within the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, fall under the domination of the majority nation, that is, the Muslim national community.

Alija Izetbegović envisages a new Bosnian pashaluk in the form of a sovereign and independent Bosnia, and himself a modern vizier. He wants to establish the border framework of Bosnia through sovereignty and transform them into an Islamic state.

Now our Serb people are in a situation where they could once again be imprisoned and, after that, perhaps destroyed, converted to Catholicism or Turkified, or at the very least deprived of their rights and turned into a national minority.

We don’t want anything Muslim.

We have no need to beg Muslims, Croats, Europe, the East, or the West to give us something which is already ours, which we already have, which God has given to us through our forefathers.

Muslims want this region in its entirety to be their republic and to rule over everyone else.

We must maintain strong links with peoples who share our people’s fate. These are Jews, Armenians, and Coptic Christians. God has helped us by putting a Coptic Christian at the top of the UN (Boutros-Ghali) and perhaps he will help us through his understanding of our problems.

Thrilled to announce that the State Audit Service has been ethnically cleansed. From now on we transfer money to banks Serbs use and wherever there are Serbs.

In the town of Derventa, we have bought formerly Muslim land on behalf of the Serb Nation and we have settled it. Derventa is now 50% Serb. Živio srpski narod!

🧵 I’ve just experienced something I never want to experience again. Had my neighbour’s five-year-old daughter round for dinner. I’ve known her parents my whole life. I sew dresses for them all the time.
