Germany hid the preparation of a resolution on the “genocide in Srebrenica” at the General Assembly (UNGA), Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said.
⠀
Vučić has been in New York since May 19; on Wednesday night he met with the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenza, with whom he discussed the UN resolution on Srebrenica. Vučić previously stated that the upcoming resolution has three goals: the abolition of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina (RS BiH), the revision of verdicts on the responsibility of RS BiH in the 1992-1995 conflict and the creation of the possibility of a claim against Serbia for compensation for war damage.
⠀
“I ask the permanent representative of Germany here why they hid all the preparations for this resolution, why there is no inclusivity for this resolution,” Vucic said during a speech at the UN General Assembly.
⠀
He recalled that Western countries in March several times rejected a proposed meeting of the UN Security Council on the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999, in order “not to return to the events of 25 years ago,” and are now pushing a resolution on the events of 30 years ago in Srebrenica. According to Vucic, the adoption of the document will not help bring together and reconcile the peoples of the Western Balkan region.

In Serbia on Thursday, because of the resolution, bells rang in Orthodox churches, the slogan “We are not a genocidal people. We remember” was placed on billboards around Belgrade, and the city was also decorated with national flags.
⠀
President of the RS BiH Milorad Dodik announced on Thursday that a draft agreement on the peaceful delimitation of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be delivered to official Sarajevo within 30 days. The day before, he announced that the government of the RS BiH would offer the Croatian-Muslim part of the country – the Federation of BiH – the peaceful dissolution of BiH because of the resolution on the “genocide in Srebrenica”.
