Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said in Paris that he believes that disputes related to the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide should not be interpreted as a problem between Serbia and BiH.
“I would not say that there are problems on the relation Serbia – BiH. I was attacked in Srebrenica last year, we tried to improve our relations in all possible ways, we never send any request to find the attackers,” said Vucic.
Then, said Vucic, came the information that the Serbian leadership is forbidden to go to Srebrenica, after which we decided not to go.
“Then someone said, “did they think that they will buy us with 5 million’, although no one said that, and then they said, “it was in some newspapers”. There’s nothing more you can say to that. You can just leave time to pass,” said Vucic, adding that they also spoke about the marking of military operation “Storm (Oluja)”.
When asked by Croatian reporters why the “Storm” happened according to his opinion, Vucic said that Croats celebrate this day while for Serbs it is the saddest day, adding that Serbs and Croats will never have the same view on the past, but they can at least have the same view on the future.
“I had good conversations with the President of Croatia, and it is important to continue with them, and we will completely fulfil our obligations under the Agreement. You celebrate Storm, and we will regret it, but when it ends at the end of August, we will invite you to see how the Croatian minorities live and work in Serbia,” said Vucic.
According to him, things are not all pink, but they should overcome the problems in an honest way.
