Victims' associations on the new indictment: BiH Prosecutor's Office is working on Serbia's political agenda, leading us into a potential conflict

(Patria) - In response to the indictment against 13 members of the Army of RBiH, accused of alleged war crimes against victims of Serb nationality in Jošanica near Foča in December 1992, we believe that the BiH Prosecutor's Office is acting on instructions from Belgrade and using falsified documentation that Serbia submitted to the International Court of Justice in 1996, accusing Bosnia and Herzegovina of committing genocide against Serbs in BiH, it was announced today by the Association of Victims and Witnesses of Genocide and the Association of the Movement "Mothers of the Enclaves of Srebrenica and Žepa".

"Part of the indictment of the BiH Prosecutor's Office against members of the Army of BiH also includes the incrimination of genocide and reads: 'Organizing a group of people and inciting the commission of the criminal acts of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes under Article 176 of the Criminal Code of BiH.'

An indictment against Army members for alleged genocide exists only in the minds of Milošević's followers, who, by all accounts, are now also in the BiH Prosecutor's Office. Serbia's political agenda is being realized through the BiH Prosecutor's Office, and the goal is to present Serbs as the sole victims in BiH.

Serbia's counter-claim for genocide failed before the Court of Justice, but it did not fail in the BiH Prosecutor's Office. This indictment, if confirmed, will represent a civilizational downfall of imagined international justice and the annulment of the legacy of two UN courts that ruled on the genocide committed by Serbs.

We call on the BiH Court to reject the charges, false evidence, and witnesses that have been fabricated from Belgrade. In the same way, false accusations for the alleged crime in "Dobrovoljačka Street" were fabricated from Belgrade.

We call on the PIC to urgently adopt binding decisions and stop political indictments, as the work of the BiH Prosecutor's Office threatens peace in BiH.

We call on the PIC to react in the same way it reacted to BiH's intention to file a request for revision before the International Court of Justice, when they concluded that filing a revision threatened BiH and its most important institutions, led by the BiH Presidency. All PIC member states at the time, except Turkey, had their judges on the Court of Justice.

Such false indictments are a prelude to a potential conflict, all based on false materials submitted from Belgrade," the victims' associations stated.
