Mayor of Srebrenica, Camil Durakovic, greeted guests who will attend this year’s commemoration in the memorial room.
Cedomir Jovanovic, Milan Bandic, Nermin Niksic, Damir Masic, Ismir Jusko, US Ambassador Maureen Cormack, Theodor Meron and other officials have already arrived in the Memorial Center, where they will attend the commemoration of victims of Srebrenica genocide.
“It’s been 21 years, and Srebrenica is still a painful spot. We do not need individual opinions, we need a clear political attitude. Anyone who has committed genocide and crimes should be held responsible for it. It is necessary to adopt a resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica as soon as possible, since such act would improve relations between countries in the former Yugoslavia. Even after 21 years it is not too late to come to Srebrenica. This is a place that we all need to remember, and until we move and bring the policy that will be unique for the whole BiH, we are not going to make any improvement,” said Jovanovic.
Ambassador Maureen Cormack stated that the commitment of the United States towards Srebrenica remained the same over the past 20 years. The Ambassador reiterated the statement of the Secretary of State John Kerry who said that the citizens of the United States are standing shoulder to shoulder with the citizens of BiH and Srebrenica.
“We came here today to pay the tribute to the victims, but also to request the justice for those who are still missing,” said Cormack.
