Serbian President Boris Tadic sais Saturday the Balkans needed to become a place of cooperation and reconciliation where hatred and revenge would be wiped out. He also underscored that Serbia would never forget its victims or agree to see history reshaped. Serbia “won’t allow history to be rewritten” During a commemoration to victims of Nazism in Jajinci Memorial Park, the president underscored that every person and every ethnicity in Serbia, as a country firmly based on anti-Fascist tradition, were accepted as members of society with equal rights. He stated that he would continue to defend civil and constitutional rights of all citizens and protect peace and equal opportunities for everyone. According to Tadic, Serbia will never accept to see evils committed in the past forgotten and will never allow certain groups to be eliminated just because they are different in terms of their ethnicity, confession or ideology. “Those who forget history or do not wish to remember it are doomed to repeat it,” Tadic stressed and added that such individuals were not desirable in Serbia nor were those who concealed or reshaped historical facts. “We are not gathered here because of hatred or desire for vengeance, but we are aware that there are some people in the Balkans who use their hatred and vindictiveness to feed their patriotism and ambition to be more powerful and different from us,” he pointed out and warned that the future should not be built on such foundations.
