Izetbegovic: Do not give up on truth

A member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bakir Izetbegovic said, after leaving a meeting with Mladen Ivanic and Dragan Covic, that "it is not true that the revision of the judgment initiated unilaterally, but the decision was made 15 years ago, when he called the agent, but decided of all processes "regarding the genocide lawsuit against Serbia.

"From Bosniak representatives are expected to participate actively in the process of stopping the audit. Since we did not agree on this, we are accused of causing the crisis in BiH and the region. That's not true, because the crisis caused those who committed the genocide, they glorifying war criminals, "Izetbegovic said at a news conference.According to him, "the review relates to establishing the truth about the events that took place before 20 and more years, under the leadership of the regime of Mr. Milosevic".

"What then is running away from the truth, which causing the crisis? If the representatives of the Serbian people out of the government, will be caused by the deep crisis in BiH, and I think the court's verdict, whatever it is, we have to accept. Only the truth can we build a better future" considered Izetbegovic.He said that in the whole story "is a classic thesis replacement, because the crisis in the relations between countries and peoples in the region caused by those who have committed aggression against Bosnia, genocide, those who are then denied the genocide and who rehabilitate adjudicated war criminals according to them called dormitories, awarded them medals. "

'On the way of truth and justice'

Previously, the session of the BiH Presidency, convened by Mladen Ivanic, interrupted because Izetbegovic left the meeting. That is not made no joint decision of the BiH Presidency on the revision."I think we do this in accordance with what the Constitution and the Rules of the BiH Presidency, and I think it's only right. The crisis starts where I'm trying to stop the blame because I'm talking to justice, any court. Who will follow and to whose will the decisions of the deal if not to the courts in which they sit international experts? "he asked Izetbegovic.

"Too many responses asking me and not this country that belongs only Bakir Izetbegovic and Bosniaks. Everyone should think about it and if it causes a crisis, will not be to blame for this, because I only insisted that 'under the carpet' is not pushed the suffering of the people, "he added.According to Izetbegovic's words, "initiating the review has nothing to do with his popularity and the popularity of the party he leads." As the main objective of launching the audit stated - establish the truth.

He believes that "the way of truth and justice", and if there are any crisis on them "will not cause".

The judgment was made 10 years ago

"I will do all that power in BiH works, or give up the truth I'm not sure. Let everyone else think about what was going on here in the last 25 years to this last reaction. For details on the request for review, we will know when the process has already started, or to then we can not say anything because the evidence was within the competence of the court, "he concluded Izetbegovic.Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993 filed a lawsuit for genocide against the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial instance in the United Nations system.

The verdict was reached on 26 February 2007, when the court in The Hague found that the genocide committed in Srebrenica, but not in the other BiH. municipalities, thereby excluding the responsibility of Serbia for genocide.

The court only found flaws Serbia in the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.
