PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE MOTIVE FOR THE NEWEST THREATS


AGAINST THE RELATIVES OF THE VICTIMS OF SREBRENICA
The newest threats against the relatives of the victims of the Srebrenica genocide show that the individuals making the threats are champions and perpetrators of a massive crime against the Bosniak citizens in the Srebrenica area and illustrates their persistent bloodlust. So-called Serbian patriots—whose own cowardice is proved by the fact that they hide themselves behind anonymity - who slit the throats of unarmed men, women and children, are now threatening to continue the genocide.
We will continue our policy of actively supporting the relatives of the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.
We demand effective protection of the women who are threatened.
We demand more resolute engagement from all political and judicial bodies working towards the eradication of all attempts to prolong war politics and war crimes in the region.
We expect that the authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina will find and bring to justice those who take pride in their participation in the massacres in Srebrenica and elsewhere.
We demand that the Serbian authorities do the same with the perpetrators of crimes which occurred in our country. As long as the government of the Republic of Serbia does not fire from the police everyone who participated in war crimes or doubts that the crimes happened or that they were genocide, Serbia will remain hopelessly in the grip of supporting criminals. It should not continue in its present form.
