"Srebrenica was one of darkest moments of humanity"

"Srebrenica was one of darkest moments of humanity"! Is this only the title or what was really said ? Let us be serious and objective. If Srebrenica is the "darkest moment of humanity", what were Auschwitz, Jasenovac, Treblinka and the other concentration camps? In 2003 I was with my wife in Srebrenica and Potocari at the memorial which was not officially opened yet. A policeman Croat and another Serbs told us, as we are French, that in that memorial were buried victims "from all around of Bosnia", which was confirmed by my cousin the French general now retired, and former commander of French battalion in Bosnia. Let us not forget that William Walker also declared that 42 killed terrorists in Kosovo in Racak was also a " genocide".

So Darmon, you're contesting which one is the absolute darkest moment of humanity between Auchwitz, Jasenovac, Srebrenica etc.? Is the ranking of the darkest moments what's bothering you? Not the fact, that right in the middle of modern Europe, 8000 civilians were round up, separated and mass murdered in cold blood, and that the Serbs still don't regret doing it?

No they weren't albanopalis, keep telling the lie but the truth will be out one day

Well said, and I will be supporting France in the World Cup; however, I do have a quick question for which I would like to get a French perspective. Historically in the Balkan Wars (as far back as Ottoman) over the centuries, the English have always sided with the Turks and Islam, but the French have always supported the Serbs. Why did the support wain in the 90's? And, what is the true thought of the French people with respect to the Kosovo issue today? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Srebrenica was a horrendous crime, but it was NOT genocide. To apply this term to the massacre at Srebrenica reduces those genocides (such as committed by the Austrians, Germans and their Croatian lap-dogs in the name of the Third Reich) to mass murders. Hahn and his cronies at the EU Commission know this, but they are paid enough to distort history.

Using the word 'genocide' irresponsibly and inappropriately as Johannes Hahn has done, will only delay the normalization of relations between the warring parties in Bosnia Hercegovina. Moreover, continually recognizing the casualties of only one side in a three-way civil war will further divide the people of B-H. By continuing to neglect the 3,500 Serb civilians who were massacred by Nasir Oric and his hordes in the villages surrounding Srebrenica will ensure that the ethnic hatred that pervades the area will continue. Shame on Johannes Hann and the rest of the EU.

RS is rewarding Genocide and must be abolished out of respect to the Bosnian victims of Greater Serbia ...

Peace and stability in Europe is possible by NOT rewarding Serbian Crimes ....

Bosnia must be united and Serb War criminals must face justice....

Yes, it was a dark moment in history.
It was dark that the U.N. allowed militant Muslims to attack innocent Serbs from a "safe zone".
It was dark that the truth never emerged that Serbs finally defended themselves after warning and ASSISTING all innocents and those who wanted to leave before attacking.
Very dark indeed.

ChiTown,
If I may, I'd like to comment on French-Serb relations, which go back centuries, including between our monarchs. The mother of Serb monarchs was a French woman named Hélène d'Anjou. As you probably know, the French fervently supported Serbia during World War I and we were strong allies during World War II. Even during the 1990's, many French and others, including those serving with U.N. forces, openly supported Serbs. Unfortunately "the war of words" and propaganda affected many across the globe, including so-called "intellectuals" who should have known better. As it has been said, "truth is often the first casualty of war".
Vive la France ! Živeli Srbija !
