International war crimes prosecutor Serge Brammertz said on Monday that the mural of convicted war criminal General Ratko Mladic in Belgrade shows that genocide deniers are still present in Serbia.

The one thing that the mural of Ratko Mladic and the publications by the extremist Rwandan diaspora have in common are that they show that there are still people, 25 years later, who denying and minimize court-established facts about genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, Brammertz, chief prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, told the UN Security Council.

Brammertz spoke after Mechanism President Judge Carmel Agius presented his report and called Serbia to fulfill its international obligation by arresting and extraditing extreme nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS) senior officials Petar Jojic and Verica Radeta who have been indicted for trying to intimidate witnesses in the trial of their party leader convicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj.
