Viktor Nuždić, the acting director of the Republican Center for Research of War, War Crimes, and the Search for Missing Persons, has proposed that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska adopt the report of the Independent International Commission for the Investigation of the Suffering of All Peoples in the Srebrenica region from 1992-1995, which states that no individual crime of genocide nor genocide in general occurred in Srebrenica.
Explaining this report in the Parliament of Republika Srpska, Nuždić noted that on August 14, 2018, the National Assembly of Republika Srpska rejected the 2004 Commission’s report on the events in and around Srebrenica from July 10 to 19, 1995, considering it was compiled under the pressure of the then High Representative, Paddy Ashdown.
Nuždić emphasized that the Government of Republika Srpska in its conclusions supported the positions presented in the report of the Independent International Commission, affirming that the term “genocide” for Srebrenica is inaccurate and unacceptable, and thus cannot be accepted.
“The Government of Republika Srpska permanently rejects this qualification, considering that the minimum number of Muslim forces members, war prisoners, captured and executed ranges from 1,500 to 2,000, with a maximum between 2,500 and 3,000, of which a number were exchanged,” said Nuždić.
