On the occasion of 25th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Serbia, the Independent Association of Vojvodina Journalists and forumZFD – Serbia have launched a permanent campaign “Never Again, For Anyone”. The goal is to draw attention of the broadest public and build a permanent reminder of the largest crime on the territory of Europe after the Second World War. In order never to happen again, to anyone, and for Srebrenica to become a universal anti-war symbol.
“Official nationalist narrative in Serbia has been going on for 25 years, it is only getting stronger, closed in itself, and this entire truth, regardless of being established before international courts and that the whole world sees it in one way. Serbia is the victim of nationalist narrative which puts it on the opposite side of international law and developed world”, said Ivan Đurić, Programme Director of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights to N1 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights demands that the Ministry of Interior and the Ombudsman launch two independent investigations into the excessive use of force of the members of the police at the protest in Belgrade.
On the occasion of EU Special Representative Miroslav Lajčak’s visit and meeting with Kosovan representatives in Washington D.C. on Saturday, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights calls on President Vučić and other government representatives in Belgrade to approach this phase of negotiations in a manner different to those that have preceded.
