John Paul II has privately speculated that the fulfillment of Fatima is now at Medjugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovina, where seers have claimed to have received secrets since just after the 1981 shooting.

It is likely that John Paul II never speculated any such thing, given that Medjugorje has not received approval from the Church, even after three investigative commissions.

Here's what Bishop Peric of Medjugorje said just last summer:

Fifthly, the "seers" who see visions on a daily basis and the endless apparitions themselves (33,333 to date, nor it there any risk of my being mistaken, for there is no end to the numbers or the "visions") are more in the nature of a religious show and a spectacle for the world than a true and faithful witness to the peace and unity of the Faith and love for the Church. Who can fail to see that these endlessly multiplying numbers should not be taken seriously? Shall we change our Catholic orthodoxy for fantastical superstition?

You are correct, John Paul II has never hinted or speculated that Medjugorje is the next Fatima. This is a myth that followers of Medjugorje have propagated...
