PODGORICA, July 9 (Hina) - Montenegro's Parliament on Thursday
passed a declaration adopting the European Parliament's Resolution on
Srebrenica condemning atrocities committed by Bosnian Serb forces in that
eastern Bosnian enclave in 1995 as well as other crimes committed during armed
conflicts in the area of the former Yugoslavia. Parliament Deputy
Speaker Rifat Rastoder who moved this item to the agenda, said that reasons for
the motion did not lie in narrow national or narrow party interests.
"During the war many crimes were committed, but Srebrenica has become a
byword for all those crimes," Rastoder said.
The declaration reads that the Montenegrin law-making body calls on
judicial and other institutions to create conditions for more resolute efforts
to come to terms with the past and shed light on crimes committed from 1991 to
2001.
