Statement: OHR statement on RS Prime Minister Bukejlovic’s recent comments

The Presidents of Serbia and the RS have had the courage to acknowledge the full extent of the crime that was committed at Srebrenica and apologise for it. Mr Bukejlovic’s recent comments give the impression that he now wishes to move in the opposite direction. It is important that Prime Minister Bukejlovic has publicly accepted the findings of the Srebrenica Commission. It is equally important that he, as prime minister, focuses his efforts on ensuring that the spirit of denial over Srebrenica, which was too widespread for too long, is finally and conclusively eliminated.
