The Association of Victims and Witnesses of Genocide and the organization “Mothers of Srebrenica Enclaves” have sent information regarding allegations of committing a criminal act, specifically the denial of the Srebrenica genocide, against Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin to the State Investigation and Protection Agency and the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“During his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin denied the Srebrenica genocide, as established by the final decisions of international and national courts, with evidence of violations of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically: Article 145a, Paragraph 3, of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, published in the Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina, number: 46/21,” the information submitted states.
President Vučić is the greatest guarantor of peace and stability in our region. I am very grateful for the opportunity to express this and to thank you once again for your significant personal contribution to our relations, as well as for your major personal contribution to preserving the truth, which has helped us successfully fight against the attempt to adopt a resolution on the false genocide in Srebrenica,” Vulin told Putin, among other things.
According to the amendment to the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, approved by Valentin Inzko, “Anyone who publicly approves, denies, grossly minimizes, or attempts to justify the crime of genocide, a crime against humanity, or a war crime defined by a final judgment in accordance with the Charter of the International Military Tribunal annexed to the London Agreement of August 8, 1945 or the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia or the International Criminal Court or the court in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group related to race, color, religion, origin, or national or ethnic affiliation, and in a manner that may incite violence or hatred directed against such a group of persons or a member of such a group, shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to five years.”
