Srebrenica imams: Our children will not celebrate Saint Sava

FENA Press release

SREBRENICA, January 27 (FENA) - A ceremony marking the patron day of Saint Sava will be held today at the elementary school in Srebrenica. For this reason, the children of Srebrenica imams will not attend school or the scheduled ceremony.

“We are sorry that the principle and other staff ignore the fact that most of our children are in school without our children being presented in national or religious sense. We have no objection to marking the Day of the School, but it should be a date that suits everyone and is neutral, not just binding on the Serbian people and the Serbian saints,” Majlis of Islamic Community Srebrenica stated.

They stress that it is necessary to change the attitude towards Bosniak children and that they do not want their children to participate in events that do not represent them.

We believe that a school where the children of one people are the majority, even if they are less represented, should not be neglected, nor should they be imposed on the other side, by any people, for that matter. Discrimination is unacceptable on any basis, especially on national and religious grounds. Therefore, our children will not be present at today's festivities, and it is up to the other parents to choose whether their children attend today's and similar events, it is said in a message from Srebrenica imams, whose children attend “First Elementary School” in Srebrenica.

They also add that their children attending high school will be in class but will not attend any ceremony.
