Citizens in North Mitrovica have paraded their cars in the streets of this city, as a sign of support for the Serbs and the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n
Dozens of vehicles, in which flags of Serbia were placed, moved on the streets of this municipality, after the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica was approved in the General Assembly of the United Nations.<\/p>\n
It is not known who is behind this organization in North Mitrovica, one of the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo, inhabited by a majority of Serbs.<\/p>\n
On May 23, members of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring July 11 the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Srebrenica Genocide.<\/p>\n
During the debate, Vu\u010di\u0107\u00a0said that it is a “highly politicized resolution” that “will not contribute to reconciliation either in Bosnia and Herzegovina or in the region”.<\/p>\n
The resolution, which is co-sponsored by Germany and Rwanda, has sparked strong reactions in Serbia and the Serb entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, where leaders have said it will label all Serbian people as “supporters” of mass murder.<\/p>\n
In Srebrenica, Serb forces killed over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in July 1995. The crime in Srebrenica is recognized as genocide by international courts.<\/p>\n
The approved resolution, among other things, calls for “unreserved condemnation of any denial of the genocide in Srebrenica, as well as actions that glorify those convicted of war crimes, including those responsible for the genocide.”<\/p>\n
For the genocide committed in Srebrenica, until now, more than 50 people were sentenced to about 700 years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
