Only Integrating Bosnia Will Complete the Balkan Mosaic
Fifteen years on, the world has yet to define itself clearly in relation to the Srebrenica crime – and unfortunately, this ambiguity encourages Serbia to continue obstructing efforts to rebuild Bosnia.

Resolution on Srebrenica? No thanks, it's not needed.
Maybe I am the only one, but I believe that no resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica is needed. Not in Serbia, nor in Bosnia nor anywhere else. What we need are trials and facing up to the past – not only on the part of the Balkans but by the whole international community.

A Mountain of Evidence Pointing to Genocide
Unlike the careful and calculated Milosevic, Karadzic has left a mass of incriminating evidence, which will make it harder to fight the charge of genocide at his Hague trial.
To the media in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the arrest of Radovan Karadzic, indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, was a true sensation, and one to be exploited day after day.
In July 1995 Srebrenica was shelled and occupied by the Army of Republic of Srpska,VRS, despite being declared a protected area by the United Nations. More than 7,000 people were killed, the victims of genocide.
The Bosnian Serb commander’s role in the genocide committed in Srebrenica is described in detail in many indictments and verdicts pronounced before local and international judicial institutions.
Indictments in 1995 and 2000, further amended in 2002 and 2010, charge the former commander of the Republika Srpska Army with genocide and other crimes.
When Mladic ordered his army to bomb the people of Sarajevo until they ‘go insane’, he revealed the murderous intentions that would culminate in the Srebrenica massacre.
