Following the request of the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, to release the war criminal Ratko Mladic from jail on humanitarian grounds, the Mothers of Srebrenica also spoke out inviting the spokeswoman to visit Srebrenica.

“Zakharova, as a great humanitarian, should come to acknowledge and pay her respects to the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica. The hypocritical statements of Russian officials regarding the war criminal only prove that Russia is still, even today, with those who brutally killed children, the elderly and women. Fascism has no place in the modern world,” Mothers of Srebrenica stated on Twitter.

Zaharova kao veliki humanitarac da dođe prizna i pokloni se žrtvama genocida u Srebrenici. Licemjerne izjave ruskih zvaničnika o ratnom zločincu samo dokazuju da je Rusija i danas uz one koji su mučki ubijali djecu, starce i žene. Fašizmu nema mjesta u modernom svijetu.

They sent a special message regarding the release of convicted war criminal Mladic.

“The wishes of Zakharova and the Russian embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina will remain unfulfilled because the convicted war criminal will not live to see freedom!” said the Mothers of Srebrenica.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated Thursday that convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic, who was recently admitted to the hospital due to his deteriorating health, should be released from prison “on humanitarian grounds.”
