Elvedin Pasic was 14 years old when his village was attacked by Bosnian Serb forces. His emotional story about the last time he saw his father was the first testimony in the trial of General Ratko Mladić — whose forces carried out the genocide of 7,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica, among other crimes.

In this scene from “The Trial of Ratko Mladić,” the prosecution team prepares Pasic for trial and discusses his importance as a witness. His story “really demonstrates the way Mladić approached war and his willingness to commit terrible crimes,” said lead prosecutor Dermot Groome.

  1. Naser Oric was killing civilians, women, children and old people, raped, burned the villages in Bratunac and Srebrenica. During the Second World War genocide against Serbs were committed here. The Serbian army was forces to enter Srebrenica and disarm Muslims. Muslim women and children are bused safely on the territory that control Muslims.

  2. The whole court, judges and lawyers almost made it that much cheap, degrading and weak. There are people who are deciding against the brutalities who do not even understand the meaning of the word.

  3. General Ratko Mladić is the devil and deserves no peace. 😢 This man's story, one of THOUSANDS shows that to be true.
    I hope ❤ so much to see Netanyahu there soon, as he deserves it just as much if not more.

  4. A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a friend about how manifesting never seemed to work for me. I’d tried so many methods but still felt stuck. We heard about a book called Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers on a podcast, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Eva's approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Now, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely. If you’re frustrated like I was, don’t hesitate. Read this book. It will change everything ❤

  5. i'm BEGGING anyone who's even slightly lost in life to read Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers. i'm not kidding when i say it cracked me open in the best way. i'm crying and healing and evolving all at once ❤

  6. This comment section probably won’t remember me, but maybe someone scrolling needs this. A few months ago I hit a wall. Nothing made sense. I bought Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers after seeing it here on yt. I had no expectations. But chapter by chapter, it broke something open in me. Not motivation — momentum. Wishing that for you too.✨

  7. War has always been an opportunity for narcissists and psychopaths to commit the acts of violence they've always desired under the guise of nationalism or religion. Without war, they are confined to bullying under the guise of business or domestic violence.

  8. So good that the world learned it's lesson and will never allow something like this to happen again.. oh wait… Never mind 🇵🇸

  9. Im white and from south africa . The eff partys leader sings kill the boer kill the farmer and to cut the throat of whiteness . And the goverment says nothing . How sad is that .

  10. Seeing the butcher just sitting there If he was at the market place…says everytihing. The hate is so powerfull. Their hate is the power that they use. Power and hate against people that has nothing to do with their hate.
    No need to explane how this all began.
    Everybody knows.

  11. I am not supporting killing people. But Jesus Christ, can you tell why we have muslims in Europe. They have no reason to be there. GET OUT!

  12. The video is unclear and intended to get emotional response. War is always horrible. Nevertheless with large Turkish population there are not many if any mosques in Brussels or Berlin. That means European authorities are very restrictive and immediate. Serbian response was different, lots of freedom at the beginning, which did lead to tensions then to war.

  13. The serbs started the war then play victim when Bosnians defended themselves the serbs say we are all criminals whatever you cant tell me Bosnians were war criminals when you bombed and shelled houses and when a muslim came outside of his house to defend himself the Serbs say look at these muslim terrorists make it make sense the serbs were aggresors and Bosnians were defending themselves yall start it do all these war crimes then try and say they did the same this is serbian mentality

  14. I lost my sister and a neighbour of ours seen me on the street, we were all running because soldiers had executed most of the people in our village and some of us had managed to escape.. by escape I mean we just didn't go back to the village. I was with my sister and my parents were in another group. Actually I'm not sure my father was, I think he may had already been executed by that stage because he was always on the farm and the advancing soldiers would have probably killed him along the way into the village. My mother was at her brothers house, and they had managed to escape. My sister grabbed me and I remember her crying and it scared me. I was 9, I had no clue what was really happening. Some soldiers found us and I witnessed my sister being abused, before she was shot in the back of the head. I seen a few people shot and one of the soldiers hit me with his rifle in the face. I think he was trying to protect me, from being executed or from seeing other girls I knew being abused because the screams were haunting. The soldiers did really awful things to those girls before they just shot them like pieces of meat.

  16. This is heartbreaking and I, as a Serb, do not feel shame but anger, almost rage that we could do nothing to prevent those and such crimes. People ready to execute war crimes are among every nation – psychopaths, murderers, thieves or war profiteers – the scum of the Earth. I am a father and my heart broke just for thinking about my baby boy to go through what this witness did and, evidently still has his heart frozen in the moment, still screaming for his dad. God, please give this man a piece of mind, a lot of children and a happy life. As far as the Ratko Mladić is concerned, I never understood the type. A general is as good as his worst soldier! You are responsible for allowing personal vendettas on the ground, you left your soldiers enjoy no punishment, not even a threat of it. Nothing can justify what you have done – NOTHING. Perhaps, there are some Serbs who can find justification due to atrocities, war crimes and genocide the Muslims have done, but no crime can be justified by another.
