🧵 Somehow, someone in besieged Srebrenica has discovered that the raw, unrefined salt that was once strewn onto frozen roads can be put to use.

We boil them before use. Sometimes it takes hours before the last trace of the dirt that has accumulated on the surface disappears in the boiling water. Each layer is carefully removed, new water is poured on, then a new layer of dirt removed.

We wait patiently until a thin, but snowy white, dried crust of salt appears at the bottom of a pot, pan, cauldron, or whatever.

We then frantically sprinkle food with salt, as if wanting to make up for all those past months. I don’t even know if this could be detrimental to our health.

How can you explain that Europe politically supports, for example, Albania and Islamic fundamentalism, but doesn’t support Christian Serbia and Europe? We as the last defence against Islam’s penetration of Europe, find ourselves in a humiliating position in this Europe

This is a fight for survival, but only a Serb state can protect us, so that they do not Islamise us

I’m still in Rasadnik concentration camp. I’m still being attacked by my Serb captors. Today the same boy young enough to be my son, who raped me once before, attacked me in the same way again.

We find ourselves in the geopolitical space of the eastern borders of the Vatican and the western borders of Islam.
