The Association of Genocide Victims and Witnesses asked the High Representative of the international community, Christian Schmidt, for the dismissal of the president of Bosnia’s Federation (FBiH) entity, Lidija Bradara, and FBIH Culture and Sports Minister, Sanja Vlaisavljevic, over their support for the war criminal Dario Kordic.

“We continue our fight for truth and justice, and in this regard, we sent a letter in which we asked high-ranking officials, Sanja Vlaisavljevic and Lidija Bradara, for simple answers: “Do they support the resolution of the EU Parliament that demands the prosecution of Dario Kordic, a statement from the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the criminal the statements of Dario Kordic and whether they support the legacy of the ICTY in The Hague and recognize the final verdicts of the ICTY which, among other things, states that a joint criminal enterprise was established and serious crimes against international humanitarian law were committed by Croat officials, including Dario Kordic”,” the association said.

The association also asked Bradara and Vlaisavljevic to “stop individuals and media pressure” on it over the issue.

“We ask those responsible from the police structures to publicly state the reasons for police protection to persons who participate in the denial of international law and publicly provide support to war criminals. We also ask the political parties to act according to the EU resolution, which calls for a clear position of state institutions. Unfortunately, after the EU resolution, Sanja Vlaisavljevic received police protection and the pressure on our organization began”, said the statement said by the head of the association, Murat Tahirovic.
