There is no doubt the resolution, which calls for 11 July to be declared international day of remembrance of the Srebrenica genocide, will be adopted, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Thursday ahead of a vote at the UN General Assembly.

The UN General Assembly is discussing the proposed resolution today, starting at 4 p.m. Croatian time, to be followed by a vote.

“The resolution will pass, there is no doubt about it,” Plenkovic told press in Cetingrad.

Croatia is among the countries that sponsored the resolution, which was proposed by Germany and Rwanda.

Although the text does not condemn Serbia or Serbs and does not impose collective guilt on them for the genocide, Serbia strongly opposes it and has led a diplomatic offensive to have it rejected.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also arrived at the UN. He posted on Instagram that he brought the Serbian flag with him. “I will defend and protect it. And I will be proud of it. We are not a genocidal people!” Vucic wrote.

In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces killed at least 8,000 Bosniaks in Srebrenica, which was under UN protection at the time.

The draft resolution on one of the worst crimes in Europe since WWII condemns, among other things, genocide denial and the glorification of convicted war criminals.

Adoption requires a simple majority in the General Assembly, or 97 votes, which is likely. It is expected that a dozen countries will vote against and that tens of UN member states will abstain due to the Serbian diplomatic offensive, especially among non-aligned countries.
