Tadic: Condemnation of Srebrenica is an obligation

Resolution on Srebrenica will not encounter the highest approval in the Republic of Serbia and Serbian, but the commitment of the Serbian Parliament to adopt, says Boris Tadić.

Politicians are the ones who need to be able to take responsibility for such a political decision, because they are elected because the citizens in the elections, then they, in fact, the elections rewarded or penalized for that," said Serbian President Tadic.

He told that the adoption of the resolution on Srebrenica Serbian obligations towards the Hague Tribunal.

Serbian President believes that the resolution on Srebrenica time to get the support not only in Serbia, but throughout the Serbian people where he lives.

"Only such a policy we can defend the victims and families Rabbit in Zagreb, because this case is more than the actual last days," he said, adding that it was a murder of a girl of 12 years, which was ethnically motivated.

Tadic said that the policy of respect for other people's suffering and disclosure of respect for others as possible victims of the plan međunaordnom gain credibility for the conduct of national policy.

Asked why Serbia, as a signatory and guarantor of the Dayton agreement, not responding to attacks on the RS, Tadic said that Serbia can not remain silent any one issue, even when the citizens, so it seems, pointing out that politics is often a large volume is not effective.

"Serbia has a responsibility when it comes to the Dayton Agreement and does not escape from their responsibilities for a moment. But Serbia can not interfere in internal affairs and the red line which must not exceed," Tadic explained.

According to him, and the referendum is also the internal affairs of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

"Serbia does not want to speak on the subject. I, as president of Serbia will not lead to policy nineties and interfere in these things," said Tadic.

Who will judge NATO's crimes?

BELGRADE -- An Amnesty International representative says this organization is "seeking mechanisms" so that NATO is tried for the crimes committed in Serbia and Afghanistan.

Sian Jones told Belgrade daily Politika that AI “is looking go mechanisms for NATO to answer for their crimes, because no world organization currently has jurisdiction over the most powerful military alliance on the planet.”

“We will continue to put pressure on NATO, because over the last ten years there has been clear proof that in 1999, during the bombing of Yugoslavia, there was a violation of human rights,” Jones said.

AI stated in its 2002 report that the NATO bombing of Radio Television Serbia, RTS, in which 16 people were killed, should be seen as a war crime and a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

“NATO is now immune to prosecution, whether for killing civilians in Serbia, or the killing of civilians, which we believe is still going on, in Afghanistan,” Jones said.

She said that the reason can be found in the “complicated fact that the Alliance is at the same time an organization of individual countries, but an entity itself.”

The European Director of the International Federation of Journalists, Marc Gruber, told Politika that the fact that NATO has not faced any legal responsibility for what it did in Serbia ten years after the fact is “a big problem which is not easy to solve at all”.

“No court can start a trial against NATO, as there is no basis for it in international law, because the North Atlantic Alliance is an international coalition of states,” Gruber said.

“We strongly condemn this crime. The least that NATO could do is offer an apology. We have been protesting for ten years against the fact that NATO targeted a television station, knowing there were journalists inside. The media can never be a military target,” Gruber told Politika.

The NATO bombing of the seat of Radio Television Serbia 10 years ago, when 16 employees were killed and another 16 were injured, was a deliberate attack on a civilian building and is a war crime for which no one has answered so far, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL assessed. They stress that in early 2000, NATO officials claimed they bombed RTS because of a propaganda role it had, in order to weaken the morale of citizens and armed forces. They point out NATO did not issue any special warning, although it was well-known there were many civilians in the building. AI assesses the civilian victims could have been avoided if NATO had adhered to rules of warfare. AI calls on NATO member-states to conduct independent investigation, take over full responsibility and pay damages to the victims’ families.
