President Milatović on genocide: People were killed because of a different name, national and religious affiliation

(Patria) - Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović addressed the commemoration of the 28th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica today with a video message. He also posted the message on his Twitter account, but was not in Srebrenica today due to the NATO summit being held on July 11 and 12 in Vilnius.

"In one of the greatest crimes in Europe after World War II, people were killed because of a different name, national and religious affiliation. This suffering is a testament to dishonor, but also a warning to future generations that such horror must never happen again.

Uncompromising confrontation with all tragic events from the past, with clear assignment of responsibility, is of key importance. For building inter-ethnic and inter-religious relations in these areas. It remains a human duty for all of us to decisively condemn any attempts at relativization," Milatović stated.

Ovih dana se obilježava 28 godina od genocida u Srebrenici. U jednom od najvećih zločina na prostoru Evrope nakon II svjetskog rata, ubijeni su ljudi zbog drugačijeg imena, nacionalne i vjerske pripadnosti. 1/3
