The UN General Assembly vote on the Srebrenica resolution, initially scheduled for May 2, has been postponed and will not occur before May 6, according to the Italian news agency ANSA, citing diplomatic sources at the UN.
The sources indicate that the delay stems from a failure to finalize the text of the document.
The agency notes that this is the second postponement related to the resolution.
The leadership of Serbia and Republika Srpska strongly opposes the Srebrenica resolution proposed by the permanent representative of BiH to the UN, Zlatko Lagumdzija, without the consent of the Presidency of BiH, supported by Germany and other Western powers.
The Bosniak part of the BiH mission to the UN, unilaterally and without a decision from the Presidency of BiH, with the sponsorship of some Western countries, initiated the adoption of a new resolution on Srebrenica in the UN General Assembly. Previously, Russia vetoed a British resolution on Srebrenica in the UN Security Council nine years ago.
The Independent International Commission for the Investigation of the Suffering of All Peoples in the Srebrenica Region from 1992 to 1995 concluded that no individual crime of genocide, nor genocide in general, occurred in Srebrenica. The commission, consisting of 10 world experts, concluded that the Serbs never had such a plan either in Srebrenica or anywhere else.
