Amendments to the BiH Criminal Code banning genocide denial and glorification of war criminals is slowly yielding results, the Vice President of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska (RS) entity said Monday.

“Despite being far from the ultimate goal of ending genocide denial, glorifying war criminals and a systemic catharsis, it seems that our struggle to ban genocide denial and glorify war criminals is slowly yielding results.” Ramiz Salkic tweeted.

Iako smo još uvijek daleko od konačnog cilja, prestanka poricanja genocida, veličanja ratnih zločinaca i sistemske katarze, čini se da naša borba, da se zabrani negiranje genocida i veličanje ratnih zločinaca, polahko daje rezultate.
