 [REGNUM] It is naive to believe that the law prohibiting denial of the “genocide in Srebrenica” was adopted by the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko, just at the moment when the results of the work of independent international commissions investigating crimes against Serbs in Sarajevo in 1991-1995 were published. and to investigate crimes against representatives of all peoples in the region of Srebrenica 1992-1995.
This was stated by the Chairman of the Commission on Srebrenica, Israeli scientist Gideon Greif during an international conference dedicated to the report of independent experts on Sarajevo and Srebrenica, which was held at the Foundation for the Support of Public Diplomacy. A.M. Gorchakova on September 14, a REGNUM correspondent reports .
Thus, Greif answered the question of IA REGNUM , is it a mere coincidence that literally in a matter of days after the first submission of the report of the independent commission in the Republika Srpska, the former High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Valentin Intsko introduced a law banning the denial of the "genocide in Srebrenica" territory of BiH.
Let us remind you that the commission of independent international experts, headed by Greif, came to the conclusion that war crimes were committed in Srebrenica, but there was no genocide of Muslims.
"I think it was not accidental. But this does not scare us, we firmly adhere to our positions, we believe in every word of the document that we have drawn up, and nothing will force us to abandon our conclusions, since we dealt with this issue very seriously and scientifically," Greif said.
Recall that Gideon Greif is an Israeli historian who specializes in the study of the history of the Holocaust. He teaches in Australia, Estonia, Israel, Germany, Poland and the USA. In 1986, Greif recorded interviews with 31 prisoners of the Auschwitz camp and based on their stories he compiled the book We Wept Without Tears, which was translated into 12 languages. He also dealt with the issue of the Serb genocide in World War II.
