Bosniak (Muslim) member of Bosnian Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic expressed his apologies on Monday for every innocent victim killed by the Bosnian Army. "I apologize for every innocent victim killed by the BiH Army," Izetbegovic told a B92 radio show on Monday, in reference to the 1992-95 war in Bosnia. Bosniak official apologizes for crimes The recently elected son of the war-time Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic also noted that all innocent victims should be viewed equally. He added that a compromise should be reached between all members of the presidency if an institutional apology for the BiH war victims is to be made. "If one counts all the victims (killed by) the Bosnian army during the four years of war, the number will be far lower than the number of people murdered in Srebrenica in just one hour," Izetbegovic said, assessing that the three nations in Bosnia have been fighting for positions ever since the Dayton Accord, but that it is better to negotiate even one hundred years than to spend a single year in war. Bosnia has four million residents, and there is no reason to make war or create problems for each other, Izetbegovic said, adding that the Yugoslavia break-up and the ensuing war could have been avoided. Izetbegovic also said relations with the newly elected Serb Republic (RS) President Miorad Dodik would be "harmonized". "We will approach each other and work together. Dodik will not continue to make crises in Bosnia out of interest. If there is a crisis in RS investors won't come, and they're needed. Pensions are now 100 marks lower that in the (Muslim-Croat) Federation," Izetbegovic asserted. According to him, relations between Serbia and BiH have improved after the adoption of the Declaration on Srebrenica and the visit of Serbian President Boris Tadic to that town. He added that it is important for both countries to continue normalizing the relations. Bakir Izetbegovic (Tanjug, file)
