The Montenegrin president refuses to apologize again to Bosnia for his country’s involvement in the Bosnian war. Haris Silajdzic, a member of the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia-Hercegovina, said on Wednesday that he was expecting either Filip Vujanovic or some other high-ranking Podgorica official to apologize for “the Montenegrin authorities’ inappropriate conduct in the past.” Vujanovic refuses to repeat apology to Bosnia “I think that Bosnian citizens believe that that would be good for relations between the two countries,” Silajdzic told Podgorica daily Vijesti. Vujanovic told Ulcin TV station Teuta that he had “made his position on that clear back in 2004, during my visit to Sarajevo.” “I then expressed my condolences for the tragedy that took place in Bosnia, because of the war that claimed so many lives, caused so much destruction and left so many consequences,” the Montenegrin president explained. He said that he had “expressed his sadness for the victims, condemned the crimes and perpetrators, and expressed the opinion that they should be brought to justice.” Vujanovic reiterated that he had said the that “an international criminal court was necessary then, and I voiced the necessity of removing collective responsibility of peoples and states in this manner.” “My position was met with complete understanding by Bosniaks in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Montenegro, and regarded as appropriate,” said the Montenegrin president.
