The High Representative, Paddy Ashdown, today condemned a report issued by the RS Government Coordination Bureau with the ICTY.“Srebrenica was not the only massacre in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995 but it was Europe’s worst massacre since the Second World War,” the High Representative said.
“Pretending it didn’t happen is an insult to people of all ethnic groups in BiH. If the accounts given in the media are correct, the report published today is so far from the truth as to be almost not worth dignifying with a response. It is tendentious, preposterous and inflammatory, and I would hope no responsible politician would allow their name to be associated with it, particularly in advance of an election that should be about BiH’s future, not about rewriting its past.”
