Srebrenica

NEW YORK - Security staff at the UN headquarters in New York unsuccessfully attempted to seize a Serbian flag from a delegation of Serb victims of the Bosnia and Herzegovina war before Thursday's UN General Assembly session on a Srebrenica resolution, a Tanjug reporter on the ground said.

NEW YORK - Addressing a UN General Assembly session on a Srebrenica resolution, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said the resolution was highly politicised, and called on all members of the UN body to vote against it.

The UN General Assembly is set to discuss and vote on a draft resolution regarding the Srebrenica massacre. The proposed document aims to declare July 11 as an International Day of Remembrance for the Genocide that occurred there in 1995. This resolution condemns the denial of genocide and the glorification of war criminals.

BELGRADE - Commenting on Thursday's UN General Assembly session on a Srebrenica resolution, Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said she had never been as concerned about peace in the Balkans as she was at this time.

Speaking to Pink TV, Brnabic said she had also never been more concerned about what life in Bosnia and Herzegovina would look like after the vote on the resolution.

NEW YORK - Speaking ahead of Thursday's UN General Assembly session on a Srebrenica resolution, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said it would be seen who was not afraid to side with justice against "the arrogant and powerful."

NEW YORK - Addressing a panel that heard testimonies of Serb victims and witnesses of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday the truth was not one-sided and that passing a draft UN Srebrenica resolution would brand those victims as members of a genocidal nation.

NEW YORK - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced on Wednesday he had spoken by phone with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez to inform him of the potential consequences of passing a UN General Assembly resolution on Srebrenica.

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Milos Vucevic said on Wednesday a majority abstention or a majority vote against a UN General Assembly resolution on Srebrenica on Thursday would be a success for Serbia.

Speaking to Prva TV, Vucevic explained that, even though a majority abstention would not keep the resolution from being passed, it would mean that the majority of the world was against it.

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday passing a UN General Assembly resolution on Srebrenica would rewrite the history of the 20th century and create a new world order based on lies and disrespect.

In an appearance on Happy TV, Brnabic also said the draft resolution violated the Dayton Agreement and the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
