Srebrenica mothers still consider Croatian president their friend

Author: Snježana Pezer

ZAGREB, Jan 17 (Hina) - Representatives of the Mothers of Srebrenica NGO on Wednesday paid their respects to Croatia's President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic for the support she has shown them and added that there is no misunderstanding between them and that she continues to be the "Queen of the Balkans" as far as they are concerned.

The mothers met with Grabar-Kitarovic, who is on an official visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the meeting was held after controversy due to various interpretations of Grabar-Kitarovic's statement about the danger of Islamic radicalism in that country.

The NGO last September sent Grabar-Kitarovic an open letter saying that she was exaggerating that danger and depicting Bosnia and Herzegovina as a haven for terrorists.

"We discussed that a little today. When we feel insulted, we say so," the NGO's president, Munira Subasic, told reporters, adding that that misunderstanding had been resolved before.

"We resented (the statement) but we were not angered," Subasic explained and added that as the only woman president in the region, Grabar-Kitarovic was still the "Queen of the Balkans."

The mothers and President Grabar-Kitarovic discussed a conference planned for November of students from the six former Yugoslav republics to discuss the Srebrenica genocide, and Grabar-Kitarovic promised that she would be one of the sponsors of the conference, Subasic said.
