Vladan Batic of the Christian Democrat Party has proposed that parliament adopt a resolution to free Holland of responsibility for the Srebrenica war crimes. At a press conference in parliament, Batic said the resolution would be tantamount to Serbia offering a hand to Holland so that it would be seen that Holland was not responsible for the Srebrenica genocide, but that “our countrymen in Bosnia under the command of Ratko Mladic were responsible for the terrible crimes in Srebrenica .” Christian Democrat leader calls for Srebrenica resolution He said that Serbia’s integration into the EU and accession to the white Schengen list required the consent of all EU member-states, and that Holland had yet to give its approval because Mladic had not been extradited. “We are not extraditing Mladic and the least we can do is to say that a crime’s a crimes, that some of our fellow countrymen perpetrated these monstrous crimes in our name in Srebrenica, and that we recognize that Holland is not responsible for that crime, nor is the Dutch battalion,” Batic said. He added that the crimes in Srebrenica had caused a great amount of political tension and turbulence in Holland and that the Dutch government had fallen as a result of it in 2002. The Dutch battalion, which was part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Bosnia in 1995, was responsible for protecting the Potocari zone, which included the enclave of Srebrenica. “Taking Ratko Mladic’s word for it, the Dutch handed over the security zone to the Bosnian Serbs,” Batic said. Asked whether he had discussed the initiative with officials of other parliamentary parties, Batic said that it was better to wait and see the reactions to his draft resolution.
