British MP Alicia Kearns raised concerns regarding the Serbian government’s stance following the passing of war criminal Ratko Mladić. Kearns criticized what she described as the official position of Serbian authorities concerning the genocide in Srebrenica and the former commander of the Army of the Republic of Srpska. Kearns highlighted a perceived contradiction, noting that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and the government deny the genocide that occurred in Srebrenica.
She pointed to the fact that Mladić, the individual associated with issuing orders during the conflict, was scheduled to receive state honors upon his burial. Kearns stated that this situation constituted an “admission” of wrongdoing. She observed that while Vučić and the Serbian government publicly deny the genocide at Srebrenica, they are simultaneously preparing to give full state honors to Ratko Mladić.
Kearns framed this juxtaposition as a form of tacit acknowledgment. Furthermore, she emphasized that despite Mladić’s death, the Bosniak community continues to exist. Her comments underscored a significant divergence between the official state narrative and the historical consensus regarding the events in Srebrenica.
