BELGRADE, June 27 (Hina) - The Igman Initiative, an organisation gathering some 140 nongovernmental organisations from Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro, condemned most strongly at a meeting in Belgrade on Monday the murder of several thousand Muslims in the eastern Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica in July 1995 and urged "the harshest punishment for its perpetrators, instigators and the authors of that criminal idea".

"We cannot accept that the only ones who are responsible are the immediate perpetrators and organisers, we also want punishment for those who led, commanded, ordered, and created criminal political, state, party and any other policies," reads a declaration adopted at the 10th meeting of the organisation.

The document also condemns the still present negation and downplaying of crimes, as well as the unwillingness of the authorities to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

"Keeping silent and justifying crime is a crime. We also condemn the downplaying of crimes, because one crime cannot be justified by another and all criminals must be punished," reads the document and conveys the participants' "deep respect for innocent victims" and sympathies to their families.

"Srebrenica has already become the symbol of a big, horrible crime and a warning for generations to come," reads the statement. It also notes that the Igman Initiative proposes that Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia and Montenegro declare July 11 a day of remembrance for all innocent victims of the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

"It is up to Serbian citizens to condemn the crime in Srebrenica, the biggest genocide since World War II in Europe, as well as all other crimes, like the Ovcara crime," said Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, who opened the two-day meeting together with Serbia and Montenegro President Svetozar Marovic and the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Borislav Paravac.
