President of UN General Ansambly
Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki
No. I-1-16/2010
Belgrade,
17 June 2010
Excellency,
The Institute for Researching into the Plight of Serbs in the 20th Century wishes to draw your attention to a disputable part of the Report of the UN Secretary General of 15 November 1999 (1) , based on the UN General Assembly resolution 53/35 of 30 November 1998, which reads as follows:
“After Srebrenica fell under the siege of the Serbian forces in July 1995, a horrendous massacre of the Muslim population took place. The evidence presented by the Prosecution includes scenes of unprecedented savagery: thousands of people were killed and buried in mass graves; hundreds of people were buried alive; men and women were dismembered and slaughtered; children were murdered before their mothers’ eyes, a grandfather was forced to eat his grandson’s liver. Those scenes were truly scenes from hell, inscribed in the darkest pages of human history”.

WARLORD AT 'TERROR HQ'
DAILY STAR SUNDAY
30th May 2010
By Andy Gardner
A BOSNIAN Serb warlord attacked by militant Muslims in a UK jail has been moved – to one housing Osama bin Laden’s main henchman.
Radislav Krstic, 62, serving 35 years for war crimes, narrowly survived having his neck slashed by three prisoners in Wakefield jail, West Yorkshire.
The former general – the first Bosnian Serb convicted of genocide over the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica – has now been secretly transferred to Long Lartin prison, Worcs, dubbed “terror HQ” because of the large numbers of terror suspects there.
Among them is Abu Qatada, dubbed Bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe.

Introductory statement
Under pressure from the ICTY tribunal in The Hague and the European Union, Serbia's President Boris Tadic is preparing to submit a resolution to the parliament in Belgrade, asking that the Serbian parliament acknowledge "guilt" for the Bosnian Civil War's "Srebrenica massacre" and declare that this "massacre" constitutes "genocide."
Subsequently, in an appeal ( http://inicijativagis.wordpress.com/?s=appel ) addressed to the Serbian president and parliament, intellectuals from EU nations, the USA and Canada called on President Tadic and the Serbian parliament not to pass this resolution. But the intellectual's appeal regettably overlooks two basic facts: 1) It is not for Serbs of Serbia to take on guilt for actions that they themselves have not committed or to declare Bosnian Serbs "guilty". 2) Evidence, that a mass-execution of up to 8,000 Muslims following the takeover by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica had ever taken place, has never materialized.

The debate around President Boris Tadic's resolution on Srebrenica has again focused the spotlight on this Bosnian town in the Drina Valley. Inspired by the ad hoc tribunal set up in The Hague to punish (Serb) war crimes during the Bosnian Civil War, the resolution is causing dissention about whether Serbia should plead mea culpa and beg forgiveness for the crime supposedly committed nearly fifteen years ago.
There are many aspects to this debate. Whereas Rasim Ljajic, Serbia's Labor Minister and President of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, says that he believes it is "important that the resolution on Srebrenica is adopted for moral and political reason(s), " other parties insist that there be a resolution condemning also the war crimes committed against Serbs.
