Kandic is really the best that serbia has to offer. she always says: "it is not me that they hate, it is my message..." in my opinion, it IS her AND her message that the extremists hate. but i hope! that as time goes on, people will see what an incredible person she is.
yes, we did meet her (it wasn't that hard!) and photograph and interview her. but for my current work (in progress) i excerpted a piece from TIME europe -- by carla del ponte, of all people -- who pays tribute to her, several years ago, as a dynamic hero, of serbia and of the world.
it is not true that she only works for non-serbian victims, but it is true that much of her energy has been devoted to victims from kosovo/a, particularly albanian, who were terrorized, whose families were massacred by the terror forces that slobo sent in to "deal" with the "rebels." were it not for kandic and her ilk, no such trials would have taken place in serbia -- she pushes, pushes and pushes -- she is (apparently) fearless, she will not be intimidated; in short, she is a fabulous role-model, for girls as well as boys.
i have pleaded for b92 to carry the words of such activists and intellectuals, and at least today they did (a few.) let's make it a habit...
anyway, today is a great day for the balkans, and let's keep moving forward, instead of backwards! karadzic is finally in the hague. we have waited so very long, and many of us never quite gave up the hope.
thank you.
