Serbia's Interior Minister Ivica Dacic stated today for TV Prva that it is far from the truth that the proposers of the resolution on Srebrenica in the United Nations General Assembly have a two-thirds majority, but it should be noted that only votes for and against are counted when adopting it, not abstentions.

Dacic emphasized that Serbia’s goal was to remove this topic from the agenda since the issue is illegal and unlawful on two grounds – there was no consensus of the Presidency of BiH on it, and the issue cannot be on the agenda of the UN General Assembly if it is a matter in the UN Security Council.

According to Dacic’s assessment, it is difficult to say whether the counting of votes for and against should be approached based on the bilateral relations we have with some countries, or in the shadow of pressures those countries are exposed to.

Under the guise of fighting genocide, one topic is politicized, added Dacic, pointing out that the fight for and against this resolution „is not fought with gloves on but rather a ruthless struggle that is far from regulations, rules.“

Dacic stated that even President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic has been involved in this fight since day one and warned that the resolution violates international law and opens a Pandora’s box for „everyone to propose their genocide.“
