| description | This is a direct testimonial of what occurred in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. It is difficult to write a scientific article on the matter, therefore, the intention is not to analyze, elaborate or demonstrate certain deeds, but on the contrary, it aims to put forward the experiences of people who, while being at war, tried to document the events as they took place, present relevant facts, and information in order to better understand what was happening and transmit this to a wider audience, especially the young. This writing intends to show how the members of the civil society and other relevant institutions, formal and informal, individual and collective, oppose to the relativization of what happened and the abuse on the part of nationalism of historical events and the politicizing of the victims and the problems with justice. As future decision-makers in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, the young must and have the right to know what happened in the nineties, because it is they who will have to make sure that it does not happen again. Above all, this article depicts the life of an «ordinary» person who finds himself in the middle of extraordinary circumstances, trying to do good for his fellow citizens. |

Como testimonio directo de todo lo sucedido en la ex Yugoslavia durante los años 90, es muy difícil escribir un artículo científico sobre el tema. Por tanto, no tiene ninguna intención de analizar, elaborar ni demostrar ciertos hechos, sino todo lo contrario, su finalidad es exponer las experiencias de personas que, estando en la guerra, intentaron documentar los eventos tal y como sucedieron, presentar hechos relevantes e información para entender mejor lo ocurrido y transmitirlo a un público más amplio, en especial a los jóvenes. Pretende mostrar cómo los miembros de la sociedad civil y otras instituciones relevantes, formales y no formales, individual y colectivamente, se oponen a la relativización de lo ocurrido y al abuso por parte del nacionalismo de los hechos históricos y de la politización de las víctimas y los problemas de la Justícia. Como futuros tomadores de decisiones en los países de ex Yugoslavia, los jóvenes deben y tienen el derecho de saber todo lo que ocurrió en los años noventa, porque serán ellos los que deben encargarse de que esto no vuelva a ocurrir. Sobre todo, este artículo presenta la vida de una persona «normal» que se encuentra en medio de unas circunstancias extraordinarias intentando hacer el bien para sus conciudadanos. Cet article repose sur un témoignage personnel des évènements survenus en Yougoslavie dans les années 90, raison pour laquelle il est difficile d’y trouver les traits caractérisant les articles scientifiques. Par conséquent, le but n’est pas celui d’analyser ni de démontrer un certain nombre de faits mais de donner la parole aux gens qui ont vécu la guerre et tentent de l’évoquer tel qu’elle s’est déroulée. Il s’agit, de cette sorte, de mieux comprendre les faits en question pour arriver à les transmettre au grand public et en particulier aux jeunes. Il est important de montrer, en effet, à quel point une bonne partie de la société s’oppose à la relativisation de ces faits historiqueset aux abus que le nationalisme commet contre les victimes. Étant donné qu’ils seront censés prendre les décision du pays, les jeunes doivent connaître cette partie de l’histoire afin qu’elle ne se répète plus. Cet article revient, enfin, sur la vie d’une personne «commune» qui essaye, malgré des conditions difficiles, de faire le bien à ses concitoyens.
