BELGRADE – The Assembly of Serbia today continued its constitutive session, on the agenda of which is the election of the President of Parliament, the Vice President, the appointment of the Secretary General and the election of the working bodies.
The session was still chaired today, as required by regulation, by Smilja Tišma (91), the oldest member of the new convocation of the Serbian Parliament. Tišma, although according to official data, has entered the tenth decade of her life, she still emphasizes that she is not sure how old she really is, because her neighbors and friends assured her that she was born in 1931 or 1932.
Tišma was elected a member of parliament on the Socialist Party of Serbia – United Serbia list, although she is not officially a member of any party.
He once told Kurir Television about his incredible fate …
She is not sure how old she is. She officially writes to 91. Neighbors and friends assure her that she was born in 1931 or 1932, she herself believes that she is a few years younger. She has infinitely excellent life and work experience, but also an energy that even decades younger than she does not have.
Even now, she does not shy away from challenges and responsibilities, so presiding over the Assembly will not be a problem for her either. “Another question is whether there will be such sessions because of everything that is happening, and it will take me several hours to prepare,” says Smilja Tišma at the beginning of the interview for Kurir television. It will not be the first time that you manage a large number of people.
“I’ve been to many congresses, both youth and party, and I took them somewhere, that’s not a problem for me,” says a woman whose many sufferings during her life have not broken her joyful spirit.
She says she was persuaded to re-enter political waters, though she won’t reveal who. He has yet to speak with SPS first man Ivica Dačić.
“Ivica Dacic is a representative of the young generation. He was a pioneer when I held important positions. I grew up early, became a native of Skoje at the age of 11”, continues the story of Smilja Tišma and goes back to the beginning.
She survived two camps during WWII! She was born and raised in Western Slavonia, where she lost her father as a child.
“Why are the Serbs in western Slavonia bothering them?” Smilja asks and returns the film to its difficult childhood:
“On April 17, 1941, they took 18 peasants led by my father. These are villains. What bothered them, a peasant, a father of four? He was expelled on April 17, and we at the beginning of June, a mother with four children, with other Serbian families. His goal was to cleanse Croatia of Serbs. That was the German idea. ”
And as long as he remembers his father, he cannot hold back the tears. “I remembered my father, who was taken naked and barefoot when they took him out of the cherry tree he was picking at that time. I took his suit to one of his barracks and that was the last time I saw him. “
A mother with four children, of whom Smiljka was the eldest, was taken to the Veliki Grđevac camp shortly after.
“It was only later that I knew it was a cattle fair. I remember we were in a big green field. We slept on the ground. I was supposed to go to school that year. From there we were transferred to Bjelovar, where there were a lot of people . Some were transported from there to Serbia, but many families returned home, including us. It was late autumn. When we returned home, my mother walked constantly, she did not sleep, she was afraid that they would kill us. They killed my uncle, to my aunt, my grandmother, my aunt’s two young children … We somehow survived that winter with the help of our neighbors, who were Croatians. “
The following year, Smiljka found himself back at the camp with his mother, sisters and brother.
“Again in June … Again in Veliki Grđevac, then in Bjelovar. We visited five camps, the longest we were in Sisak and Jastrebarsko. In Sisak, we were separated from our parents, that is, from our mother. They say that there was a glass factory, where they put us children. We slept on parquet or concrete, like who, but they did not touch our children, they probably wanted to become Croatians. Then the children were transferred from Sisak to Jastrebarsko, to a monastery ” .
Smiljka was released in mid-1943. “Our neighbor Uncle Mata, a Croat who guaranteed us, took us out. When he died, I erected a monument to him as a sign of gratitude.” However, when the four children arrived home, horror awaited them. “Our house was burned down, so we lived with our neighbors and relatives until the end of the war.”
The war ended and she arrived in Belgrade with her sisters and brother, where she already had two uncles. However, the children were placed in homes in Novi Sad, Negotino and Belgrade. “Then I graduated from Law School, after which I ran alone with the president, but they saw me at a meeting. I suppose they liked my courage, my speed… They hired me in the ministry and there I spent my entire working life. They say I was diligent. “
He retired 14 years ago and now has health problems. “I have leg problems, I’ll be in the hospital for treatment for three months. It’s good to walk. I ‘earned’ that as a kid at camp. Smiljka is on the SPS-JS list and has a high opinion of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
“Vucic is a good man, honest and frequent, he doesn’t chase money, but not everyone is like that.” Despite his age, he does not know fear, he is not afraid of the crown. “I am not afraid that it will infect me, put on a mask and go out”, in her style, this brave and courageous woman finished the interview for Kurir television.
We remind you that the mandates of the deputies were confirmed in the session of August 3, and the election of the parliamentary leadership completes the process of formation of the parliament, thus creating the conditions for the election of the new Serbian government, which will include SPS, SPAS and minority parties.
The leader of the Socialists, Ivica Dačić, was nominated for president of the assembly, and the media reported that the general secretary of the assembly will be Veljko Odalović, who until now has served as secretary general in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
