“Victims don't ask for much. They want dignity, they want others to acknowledge their pain and suffering, but in this region victims are always used to gain political points. Politicians speak about them only when they need to compare them to the victims of ‘others' to show that their pain and losses are greater. So, the idea was to use a different logic when we speak about the war, to try to fix the logic that has been broken by nationalism and the propaganda of denial.” (Ognjen Glavonić)
