The paper’s Brussels-based correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, writes today that the Government of Serbia on one side, with the help of Russia, blocks the United Nations Resolution on Srebrenica and refuses to accept that the massacre of more than 8,000 men in Srebrenica was genocide, while on the other side the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic takes part in the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of this massacre. Palokaj also writes that two international courts under the UN umbrella, The Hague Tribunal and the International Court of Justice, have concluded that genocide happened in Srebrenica. “But this is not enough for Serbia and Russia to recognize such a fact. Although 20 years have passed from the Srebrenica massacre, although there are signs that Serbia gradually wants reconciliation and to cope with the past, it is far from the time when Serbia will accept that things be called by the right name and to recognize the massacre of Srebrenica as genocide,” concludes Palokaj.
