Thousands of Bosnian Serbs have rallied to deny that genocide was committed in Srebrenica in 1995, despite rulings to the contrary by two United Nations courts.

This gift card lets you dine at Planet Hollywood, Bertucci’s, and more, now starting at $20.Supporters of Bosnian Serb political leader Milorad Dodik wave Serbian flags during protest against what he claims is Western aggression against Republika Srpska entity in the Bosnian town of Banja Luka, 240 kms northwest of Sarajevo, Thursday, April 18, 2024. More than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were executed by Bosnian Serb troops in the eastern Bosnian enclave in July 1995.
The resolution is yet to be passed in the U.N. but the Bosnian Serbs and neighboring Serbia have been strongly opposed, saying it would brand the Serbs as a “genocidal nation.” The Serbs are supported by Russia and China. Dodik reiterated his threats that Bosnian Serbs, who control about a half of Bosnia, would split from the rest of the country if the Srebrenica resolution is passed in the U.N General Assembly.“We do not want to live in the same state with you and we will not live in the same state with you,” said Dodik. “We will do it when the conditions are right.”
In his speech, Dodik said he hoped a potential victory at the upcoming U.S. election by former President Donald Trump would create “different conditions in which we will play.” He did not elaborate. Dodik ended his speech by exclaiming “Long live Russia!”
