He especially noted the struggle of the mothers of Srebrenica, who contributed the most to the adoption of the Resolution with their truth and testimony.

He thanked the Republic of Croatia for co-sponsoring the Resolution on Srebrenica adopted by the UN General Assembly​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and for supporting the commemoration of the anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica.
