The declaration with which parliament would condemn the Srebrenica crimes is supported by 20.6 percent of Serbia’s citizens. However, 46.2 percent would support the adoption of one all-inclusive resolution, Novi Sad daily Dnevnik writes. Opinion poll on Srebrenica resolution According to a survey conducted by the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, as many as 55.2 percent of those polled believe that the crime committed in Srebrenica was “maliciously blown out of proportions by our enemies and media”. Social Democratic Union (SDU) President Zarko Korac, who was the initiator of a Srebrenica resolution earlier that was not accepted by either the government or opposition, said that the fact that President Boris Tadic proposed the resolution this time around is important. Korac said that there is no use in voting for such a resolution if the people think that it is imposed, if there is no sincerity and it is being done just because someone is asking for it. “There can be a purpose only in the desire for Serbia to be relieved of the burden, because there is a video that was shown on television in Serbia with Ratko Mladic saying: ‘I have finally freed this city of Turks, and I’m handing it over to the Serb people’,” Korac said. Korac added that “no one asked the Serb people about that, nor did the Serb people give Mladic the authority to do that in their name”. “And that is why the Serb people should show that they do not want to accept this responsibility, which belongs to the criminals that planned and carried out the crime,” he said. Korac also stated that this was the time for the political elite in both the ruling coalition and opposition to show maturity and do what was needed for Serbia in the long-term, and that would help relieve it from the burden of the horrible tragedy.
