The Assembly of Kosovo has passed a resolution recognizing the genocide committed in the Bosnian village of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War by Serb troops.
89 MPs, out of a total of 120, voted in favor of the resolution, while the Serbian minority party “Serb List” boycotted the assembly.
On Wednesday’s plenary session, Prime Minister Albin Kurti declared that the genocide witnessed in Srebrenica is the “largest massacre” that took place on European soil since World War II.
He added that the government is currently working on filing a genocide lawsuit against Serbia.
The Srebrenica Massacre occurred in July 1995 at the end of the Bosnian War, where Serbian paramilitary groups murdered more than 7,000 civilians, mainly Muslim men and boys.
In 2007, the International Court of Justice at The Hague designated the Srebrenica massacre as genocide.
