The vote on the resolution regarding the Srebrenica genocide at the United Nations General Assembly will be held on Thursday, May 23, Klix.ba has learned from sources within the UN General Assembly.
According to our sources, the resolution will be considered on that date at 10 a.m. local time. The resolution was initially scheduled for consideration on May 2 but was postponed due to procedural matters.
Let us recall that the UN Security Council will hold its regular session today on the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
According to information obtained by Klix.ba, the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt, and the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denis Bećirović, will address the Security Council member states’ representatives.
Representatives from Serbia and Croatia will also speak. This is a regular session held semi-annually by the UN Security Council on the security situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and President of the Republic of Srpska Milorad Dodik insist on claims that this resolution attempts to impose collective guilt on the Serbian people, asserting that there was no genocide in Srebrenica, despite it being confirmed by the Hague Tribunal’s verdicts.
On the other hand, the resolution does not mention Serbia or the Serbian people, nor does it attribute any collective guilt to them.
Members of the Bosnian Serb army and police, after occupying Srebrenica, which had been declared a UN-protected zone, systematically killed more than eight thousand Bosniak men and boys in July 1995, while women and children were expelled from the enclave.
For planning and executing the genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnian Serb wartime political and military leaders Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
