IN SARAJEVO THEY ACQUIT THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIMES AGAINST SERB CIVILIANS

SREBRENICA, APRIL 13 /SRNA/ – The President of the Organization of Families of Captured and Fallen Soldiers and Missing Civilians of Srebrenica Branimir Kojić said in a statement to SRNA that the Court of BiH acquits those responsible for crimes against Serb civilians and serves, as he claims, the interests of the Bosniak political establishment.

Following the decision of the Appellate Division of the Court of BiH to overturn the verdict against former commander of the 43rd Drina Brigade of the so-called Army of BiH Ramiz Duraković for crimes against Serb civilians in the Čajniče area, Kojić called on the Republika Srpska leadership to take steps to prevent what he described as unjust actions by the judiciary at the BiH level toward Serb victims and their families. "Throughout the war, Serbs were killed on major Orthodox holidays, and today, in what is only a nominal peace, wartime structures from the Federation of BiH continue that practice, deepening the wounds of the Serb people and sending a message that there is no place here for Serbs," Kojić stressed. According to him, such acquittals are an attempt by the Court of BiH to weaken the position of Republika Srpska within BiH. "The Court of BiH acquits those responsible for crimes against Serb civilians, while anyone who congratulates the birthday of Ratko Mladić or Milorad Dodik, or raises three fingers, receives a sentence of the same duration, and a final one, while verdicts against various individuals are being shamefully overturned", Kojić said.
