LDP criticizes SNS regarding Srebrenica resolution

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader Cedomir Jovanovic said that he hopes that the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) will vote for the Srebrenica resolution. Jovanovic said that SNS deputy leader Aleksandar Vucic’s statement that the Srebrenica massacre was a horrible event is hypocritical, because he never said the same thing when he was a member of the Serb Radical Party (SRS). LDP criticizes SNS regarding Srebrenica resolution “It is an advantage for the Serbian parliament that Vucic is no longer and MP, and that if his party has enough personal and political respect it will have the opportunity to vote for condemning the Srebrenica genocide without his attendance and hypocritical vote, to symbolically back away from the policies that killed 8,000 people in Srebrenica, and hundreds of thousands throughout Yugoslavia, among which there were many Serbs,” Jovanovic said. LDP reminded that Vucic called the Serbian parliament a “safe house” for Ratko Mladic and that he wanted to name Belgrade streets after the Hague fugitive. “Together with his current president, Vucic, only 18 months ago, led the violence demonstrations trying to topple the government that extradited Radovan Karadzic, one of the people indicted for the crimes in Srebrenica,” Jovanovic reminded. The European Parliament proclaimed July 11 a day of remembrance for Srebrenica, and Jovanovic said that after submitting an application for EU candidacy, Serbia is obligated to show respect towards the event in a similar way.
