Serbia begins to come to terms with its dark past
Legislators condemn massacre of Muslims, but refuse to call it genocide In the early hours of the morning last Wednesday, the People's Assembly of the Republic of Serbia adopted a Declaration on the Condemnation of the Crime in Srebrenica with 127 votes in favour and 21 against, out of the total of 250. The supreme legislative body in Serbia had thus made the first step in what could mark the beginning of a long and arduous process of facing the dark legacy of the 1990s. It initiated a public debate which will inevitably expand and gradually cover a wide spectrum of topics relating to recent past. During the Yugoslav wars of the early 1990s, the small eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica was one of several UN Safe Areas. On July 11, 1995 the town was stormed by the Bosnian Serb Army under the command of generals Radislav Krstic and Ratko Mladic.
