The European Union (EU) rejects and condemns any denial, relativization or misinterpretation of the genocide in Srebrenica, said European Commission spokeswoman Ana Pisonero Hernandes, regarding Minister Vladimir Leposavic's comments about Srebrenica.
"Last year we marked the 25th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, one of the darkest chapters of modern European history. It is high time that all political leaders in the region lead the way in honoring the victims and promoting reconciliation," Pisonero emphasized, as reported by Portal RTCG.
The Commission says that the EU is a union of values, with the assessment that denial of well-documented and established facts about war events, including war crimes, or revisionism are contradictory to the most fundamental of these values.
"Each country that aspires to join the EU is expected to respect and promote the EU values of democracy, human rights, tolerance and justice. This includes treating victims of genocide with the utmost respect and dignity," concludes Pisonero.
