Rada was seriously
wounded in the attack, but the SFOR soldiers did not allow her immediate
medical aid, so she died. Dragomir’s youngest son and Dragomir himself were
also wounded in the shooting.
On January 5, 2006, Italian soldiers surrounded the Abazovic
family home and started shooting.
Dragomir says that he started running down the meadow, but
was seriously wounded in the head. He was taken to Foca by ambulance and then
to the Kosevo Hospital in Sarajevo.
It turned out that SFOR attacked the Abazovic family by
“mistake,” since they were looking for a completely different person, but they
did not want to admit what really happened during the attack.
Soldiers of the international “peace” forces even claimed
they were “defending” themselves, since, the late Rada and her 12-year-old son
Dragoljub supposedly opened fire at them from an automatic weapon and that
Dragomir shot himself in the head!
The Istocno Sarajevo District Prosecution refuted all their
claims in June 2006, after determining that Rada and her son did not shoot and
that Dragomir was wounded in the head from a 9-mm sidearm, which weapon the
Italian Carabineers carry.
Despite all this, no one was held accountable for this
crime. All attempts by the family, assisted by two lawyers, to bring Rada’s
killers to justice, have failed.
The Abazovic family was even denied the right to appeal so
that they wouldn’t get any compensation.
As a consequence of the serous wounding, Dragomir cannot
bend his fingers. He is taking medicines prescribed by the Military Medical
Academy in Belgrade.
Abazovic is a veteran of the Homeland War, and lives on a
military disability pension of KM 170.
