Following on from his recent statement that Vukovar was a Serbian city, the newly appointed President of the Republic of Serbia has made another serious mistake. In an interview with RTCG (the Montenegrin national broadcaster) on May 31st, 2012 he denied that genocide had been committed in Srebrenica, thus damaging the image of the Reublic of Serbia, which has previously recognized and accepted the judgment of the International Court of Justice, by which it was established that the Army of Republika Srpska committed genocide against Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.
PODGORICA, 1 juin 2012 (AFP) – Le président serbe Tomislav Nikolic a nié l’existence d’un génocide en 1995 à Srebrenica, en Bosnie, déclaration qui remet en cause son prétendu abandon de l’ultranationalisme et qui va dégrader les relations dans une région toujours profondément marquées par les guerres des années 1990.
