RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik objects to Serbia’s adoption of the resolution condemning the crimes in Srebrenica. He said that the resolution suggests that genocide was committed. Dodik: Resolution suggests genocide Dodik said that his cabinet believes that the truth is different from what is written in the resolution, that he would prove it and no one would be able to hide the facts. Still, he noted that this position did not mean there was a rift with the mother country, or the Serbian leadership. “(The Republic of) Srpska will continue to fight its battle for the truth, because recognizing genocide can cost us our survival,” Dodik told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti. He said that he did not understand why the Serbian parliament adopted the resolution and that he was against it, as well as against qualifying the events that took place in Srebrenica in 1995 as genocide. “Unfortunately, from what is written in the Serbian parliament’s declaration, it can be interpreted (as genocide). On the other hand, we do not agree with Serbia isolating one event in Srebrenica. There is no reason for it to be taken out of the context of all of the events of the war. Should the coming generations in this region only mark one event as the scene of a crime - Srebrenica? That cannot be, and no one, not even Serbia, can convince us otherwise,” Dodik said. The RS premier also said that Serbia’s request for all other countries of the former Yugoslavia to condemn war crimes “would not pass”.
