The Bosnian Serb Parliament accepted the report stating that there was no genocide in Srebrenica in 1995, and the figures regarding the number of people killed there are inaccurate. After the vote, a massive rally was held in Banja Luka, where Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik, in addition to denying genocide, expressed his hope that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election, he writes. clicks.ba.
According to the report, also seen by MTI, the Republika Srpska Parliament unanimously adopted the report, according to which the term genocide cannot be used to describe what happened in Srebrenica, and that not more than eight thousand, but 1,500-2,000, at most, and 3,000 people were killed there. The topic was raised again because several UN member states want to declare July 11 as an international day of remembrance for the victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide.
However, Serbia and Bosnian Serbs do not agree with this. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said earlier that Belgrade would use all means to fight the adoption of the resolution, which, according to him, “will classify the entire Serbian people as perpetrators of genocide.” . Dodik expressed the matter more sharply, telling the audience that, in his opinion, the “Bosnian Muslim elite” scored a dangerous own goal by submitting the UN resolution, because the genocide did not happen.
“If that had happened, we would not have had to raise this issue all the time. Court rulings apply to individuals, not to the people.”
– said Dodik.

With these soldiers, who experienced it all personally. Including, for example, the anonymous witness who was ordered to kill a boy found alive under the bodies, but saved him instead.
Incidentally, Dodik maintains a good relationship with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and recently presented him with a personal award in Banja Luka. It was known in advance that Orban would change the mood by going there to accept this. Of course he did that and said that he considered it a mandate. Incidentally, Vladimir Putin received this award before Orban.
