One of the keynote speakers at the panel is journalist and publicist Roy Gutnam, a war-time reporter from Bosnia, who said the entire war was a war crime.

"Bosnian war was a war crime masquerading as a war. I reached the conclusion, long before Srebrenica, over the course of a year and a half, that it had all the elements of genocide. I stick to that conclusion," Roy Gutman said.

This year's Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Austrian writer Peter Handke, is known for controversial views on the developments in Srebrenica, eastern Bosnia, denying the genocide and defending Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, who was also the Hague Tribunal's indictee for war crimes.

The award of the Nobel Prize to Handke provoked many negative reactions in the region and the world, with a protest that was held in front of the Swedish Embassy in Sarajevo, Pristina...

As announced earlier, the Swedish capital will host a great protest against the decision to award Peret Handke with this prestigious award, where organizers (various associations of victims and survivors of the Srebrenica genocide) expect a great turnout.
