The Liberal-Democratic Party (PLD) issued a strong response regarding any form of glorification associated with Ratko Mladić, an individual convicted of genocide in Srebrenica, alongside crimes against humanity and war crimes. The party called for comprehensive political accountability and suggested the possibility of a criminal investigation into the matter. The PLD asserted that the commemoration or glorification of a person convicted of genocide cannot be justified by varying political disagreements, nationalistic feelings, or differing historical interpretations.
In a formal statement, the party emphasized, “This is not a matter of political stance, national belonging, or different interpretations of history. For genocide, there is no ‘other narrative’ when the facts have been established by the decisions of international courts.”
The party characterized such acts of public glorification as particularly unacceptable. The stance taken by the PLD underscores a firm commitment to established international legal findings regarding atrocities.
By issuing this statement, the PLD aimed to draw a clear line between political discourse and established legal facts concerning war crimes. The focus remains on adherence to the judgments rendered by international judicial bodies when addressing historical events of genocide.
