The Serbian parliament adopted the Declaration which most severely condemns the crime committed against the Bosniak population in Srebrenica in July 1995.

Out of 149 MPs present, a total of 127 voted in favor of the Declaration, 21 were against it, and one MP abstained from voting. After nearly 13 hours of debate, the Declaration was supported by 127 MPs of the ruling coalition and minority parliamentary parties, whereas the DSS, NS opposed. The SNS, SRS and LDP did not vote.

The Declaration states that the Serbian parliament most severely condemns the crime against the Bosniak population in Srebrenica in July 1995, as ruled by the ICJ, and expects that all other former Yugoslav countries will condemn the crimes against Serbs in the same way.

The Serbian parliament also severely condemns all political processes and events which led to the forming of an opinion that the fulfillment of national goals can be achieved through use of armed force and physical violence against members of other nations and religions.

The Declaration also expresses deep sympathy and apology to the families of the victims because nothing had been done to prevent the tragedy.

All the former conflicting parties in BiH, as well as in other former Yugoslav countries, were called on to continue the process of reconciliation and improving of conditions for coexistence, based on equality of nations and great respect of human and minority rights and freedoms, so that such crimes would never happen again.

"The parliament expects that the highest bodies of other former Yugoslav countries will also condemn crimes against Serbs, and that they will express their sympathy and apology to the families of the Serb victims," the Declaration reads.
