The Parliamentary Committee for International Relations and Emigrants rejected the initiative for co-sponsorship of the Resolution on the Srebrenica genocide, announced the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
They state that the vice-president of DPS, Aleksandra Vuković Kuč, today asked that committee to make a statement on the memorialization initiative, i.e. co-sponsorship of that resolution, as well as to present that statement to the Government with a request that the Government also make a statement on the same issue, "considering to the fact that there is great public interest".
"Unfortunately, the initiative of Vice President Vuković Kuč was not supported by the members of the Board," announced the DPS.
"Two years ago, the Montenegrin Parliament voted on the Resolution on Srebrenica, and that resolution is the best and biggest denial of what exists in the public as an entrenched opinion, where even in the UN General Assembly they want to present that this resolution marks Serbia and the Serbian people in any way as genocidal nation or genocidal state. In our Montenegrin resolution, it is clearly stated that everyone, including Serbian, Bosniak, Croat and other peoples, is exempt from guilt for genocide, let alone the state of Serbia, because we know that the International Court of Justice in The Hague in 2007 released the state of Serbia from responsibility for genocide in Srebrenica, even though it was said there that Serbia did not take the necessary steps to prevent or possibly punish the culprits", said Vuković Kuč.
She recalled that, accordingly, in 2010, the Serbian parliament passed the Resolution on the crimes in Srebrenica, "where the crime is clearly condemned, although it was not called genocide at the time."
"And in 2010, when the man who will be convicted, among other things, for the genocide in Srebrenica, Ratko Mladić, has not yet been arrested," she pointed out.
In the end, she assessed that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić's refusal to directly answer the question of whether Montenegro will co-sponsor the aforementioned resolution was "nothing but the relativization of this terrible crime", and drew the attention of the committee members that it was up to them to "remove all the ambiguities that exist in in connection with this issue and the statement on this issue, remove the stain from Montenegro and stop speculations" regarding its further determination in the Euro-Atlantic integrations.
