at a commemorative park Jajinci, near Belgrade, to all the prisoners who
were executed in a camp on Banjica. 'The faith of ours was to defend
ourselves from criminals not oppressing somebody else's freedom. Do never
let us do something as criminals believing that thus we will do something
good for our people. It will be the greatest misfortune as for families so
and for us personally if we will believe that crimes can help us survive in
this world' said the Patriarch Paul. Estimates say that some 80,000 people,
mainly Serbs, were killed in Jajinci during the World War II.

aid to RS was drastically reduced. Day by day there are more and more
socially endangered persons registered on the municipal fund lists for
social help, the public kitchens in all the larger towns of RS distribute
up to a thousand of meals daily, while frequently we can hear from the
refugees, who are actually living of the humanitarian aid, that they do not
want promises any longer, but a concrete aid, says a journalist
of SRNA's, Dubravka Blagojevic in a review titled 'Help with "Certain"
conditions.
