Theologian Nebojša Lazić alleges cultural genocide against Serbs in FBiH

Theologian Nebojša Lazić has accused the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) of conducting cultural genocide against Serbs to erase traces of their historical existence. Lazić stated that Orthodox cemeteries are increasingly targeted because they serve as physical evidence of the historical continuity of the Serbian people in regions where their population has significantly declined.

Lazić specifically cited the recent destruction of shelters at Orthodox cemeteries near Banovići, noting that perpetrators have not been identified or prosecuted in this or previous similar cases. He argued that these attacks aim to dismantle Serbian national identity and historical heritage to align with a concept of rewriting history. He characterized the destruction of monuments and historical evidence as a form of cultural ethnic cleansing.
