As the president of Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity, Milorad Dodik, was giving a speech about Serb victims of the 1995 Operation Storm, a wartime photo of a woman and several children trying to escape the violence was depicted behind him on a screen. However, those on the photo were Bosniak victims from Zepa, taken as they were being evacuated to Sarajevo.

In that photo, the mother of Nermina Mujkic Guso, who was three months old at the time, is holding her in her arms.

“My mother is my hero, she saved us all,” she told N1 after information was released that a photo of her family was used during Milorad Dodik's speech.

“This is injustice”, she stressed.

“Although I don't remember what happened, I know, and we all know, that in that period, when the photo was taken, the biggest crime in Europe after World War II, the genocide in Srebrenica, was being committed”, she said.

“The crimes against us were committed by those who put us on that screen, and our “Storm” was in Zepa and Srebrenica”, she added.

The woman said that her brother was wounded by Serb forces during the war, but that her mother and older brothers are still alive and well today.
