Slobodan Župljanin, president of the Organization of Elders of the Army of Republika Srpska, believes that the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina has fully adopted the practice of selective justice used by the Hague Tribunal, according to which only Serbs are held responsible for the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Župljanin told Srna that the cases of the “Tuzla Column” and “Dobrovoljačka Street” are the best examples confirming the complete absurdity of applying double standards in the work of the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He stressed that cases and evidence related to crimes committed against Serbs are concealed for unreasonably long periods, proceedings are endlessly delayed, and unreasonably lenient sentences are imposed, while the approach is entirely different when it comes to proceedings against Serbs.
“From the very beginning of the Hague Tribunal’s work, a narrative was created that only members of the Serb people committed crimes during the past war, which absolutely does not correspond to the truth or to the actual situation,” Župljanin said.
According to him, the judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina has once again initiated the largest number of proceedings against members of the Serb people and issued the highest number of convictions, even though the first crimes in the war were committed precisely against Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He pointed out that the number of indictments filed and convictions handed down against Serbs fully confirms this assessment.
“Such a practice must be changed if there is a desire to normalize the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A balanced, proper, and lawful approach must be ensured in order to achieve justice for all victims,” Župljanin emphasized.
