For the survivor of the Srebrenica massacre, Emir Suljagiq, there can be no justice for the crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.
Suljagiq, who is now the Executive Director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, said that the UN Resolution on the Srebrenica genocide represents only a political and moral recognition for an entire generation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and an acknowledgment for the work and sufferings of the mothers and families there.
“But I wouldn’t say that it is justice. In this world, we do not encounter justice; there can be no justice for crimes of the level that were committed in Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina,” he said when asked if justice had been achieved for Srebrenica.
He was part of the opening conference of the “Reporting House” exhibition, which showcases the work of journalists, photographers, and media workers, placing their work alongside contemporary art pieces that reflect on the impact of war in the decades that followed.
During his stay in Kosovo, he was awarded the Key of the Capital City by the Mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama.
The United Nations General Assembly voted on May 23, 2024, with 84 votes in favor of the proposed resolution on the Srebrenica genocide.
The resolution, which proposes that July 11 be declared the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide and condemns the denial of the genocide and the glorification of war criminals, was sponsored by thirty countries.
