The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, said that the Proposal for a Resolution on Srebrenica is a "reckless gesture" aimed at putting pressure on Serbia, that the co-sponsors of that resolution will certainly not give up, and that the vote will certainly not take place on May 2nd, as he said. we'll see when".
Appearing on TV Prva, he said that the "creators of the resolution" did not expect that Serbia would oppose it so strongly.
"They expected us to deny the crime, instead we went procedurally, we stated that Article 12 of the UN Charter was violated, that there is no consensus in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the countries of the region," said Dacic.
"Not only was there no consensus in the world, the region and BiH, but no one even informed Serbia that (the proposal for a resolution) was being prepared, and that is the reason it was received by some UN members," he said.
In the conversation with the representatives of the UN, the authors saw that there is not a large number of enthusiasts, this can be seen in the smaller number of co-sponsors, while Malawi even withdrew its co-sponsorship, Dacic said.
"I spoke on the phone with 69 ministers of foreign affairs, and one part is against it, and one abstained," said Dacic.
He added that if they want to put it to a vote, the result will be far from what they want, and that it has nothing to do with reconciliation, but will only deepen divisions.
Dacic said that Russia demanded an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on BiH, that it was scheduled for April 30 and that the Serbian member of the BiH Presidency, Željka Cvijanović, would address it online.
Dacic reminded that in mid-May there will be a regular session of the Security Council on Bosnia and Herzegovina and that the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, will decide who will go there to represent Serbia.
The resolution depends on the author's assessment of when it will be submitted, it is not yet in the procedure, revisions are underway, the deadline for amendments is until tomorrow and only then will it move forward, Dacic said.
The success is that we managed to "think about it", concluded Dacic.
