It’s nearing dusk and the police are spread across the center of Loznica, in eastern Serbia, as if preparing for a derby football match. But there’s no game. It’s the Women in Black.
Silently, the fifty or so women and men, under the protection of a police force just as strong, file off the bus and onto the pedestrian street to unfurl their banners: “Denial, Negation, Forgetting = Genocide.” Another, longer one says “Solidarity. Let us not forget the genocide in Srebrenica. Responsibility.”
Before the banners have been unfurled, a man starts to shout. “These women are whores.”
