In response to the reactions of officials from Serbia and Republika Srpska (RS) to the announcement of the adoption of the United Nations (UN) resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, the SDA has spoken out, stating that they are the best evidence that the official Serbian policy has not abandoned its criminal goals and the implementation of policies defined in the SANU Memorandum.
“The most obvious confirmation of this is the fascist statements of Milorad Dodik that ‘Serbs cannot live with Muslims, Bosniaks’ and that ’25 percent of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is enough for Bosniaks’,” the SDA said.
They emphasized that these statements by Dodik are the most direct threats to Bosniaks since the time of Radovan Karadzic’s threats.
“Because the assertion that ‘Serbs cannot live with Bosniaks’ and that Bosniaks should be confined to 25 percent of the territory can only be achieved by igniting a new spiral of evil and violence similar to what Milosevic, Karadzic, Mladic, and others once initiated,” they stated.
They added that the policy of “ethnic separation” and ethnic cleansing they pursued resulted in genocide and other serious war crimes.
“But also with the suffering of the Serbian people and life imprisonment for most Serbian war leaders. At the same time, BiH and Bosniaks have survived, which should be a clear lesson and message to everyone,” they said.
They claim that now the political heirs of convicted war criminals want to prohibit discussion of genocide and crimes, presenting it as an “attack on the Serbian people.”
“They actually inflict irreparable damage to the Serbian people themselves, not someone else, by loading collective guilt for the deeds of individuals onto their shoulders. At the same time, while talking about the ‘endangerment of Serbs,’ they threaten and insult Bosniaks, and in Srebrenica, where genocide was committed, they want to Serbianize this city by changing the names of streets,” the SDA emphasized.
They note that the UN resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica is necessary precisely because of them and their policies.
“In addition, stronger and more concrete steps are needed by all who will support the adoption of the Resolution to help stop such a policy in time,” the SDA concluded.
