Komsic and Silajdzic said in press releases it was time for additional pressure on Serbia.
"Croatia must use all mechanisms and relevant international institutions, including the United Nations Security Council, and must request and obtain all the uncensored transcripts of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Supreme Defence Council," wrote Komsic, the Croat member of the tripartite Presidency.
He maintains that Croatia should demand all documents from the conflict in Slovenia in 1991 up to the signing of the Dayton peace agreements in 1995 "because crimes and genocide were carried out in both Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina continually from 1991 to 1995".
This is the only way for Croatia to win the genocide suit against Serbia and for Bosnia and Herzegovina to obtain new evidence to reopen its own genocide suit against Serbia before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Komsic said, adding that it was therefore justified for Bosnia's legal team to help their Croatian colleagues if asked.
Silajdzic, the Presidency's Muslim member, said that based on Nice's claims the Security Council had the duty to investigate the whole case and order the publication of all relevant documents. He added that if Bosnia and Herzegovina put such a request to the Security Council, Serbian officials would likely block it, so the only rational way was to help Croatia's efforts on this front.
