PODGORICA, Feb 26 (Hina) - Montenegro could not have prevented the crime in Srebrenica as it did not command the military and the paramilitary in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegrin President Filip Vujanovic said on Monday, adding that he was satisfied with the International Court of Justice's verdict in Bosnia's genocide lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro.
PODGORICA, Feb 26 (Hina) - Montenegro could not have prevented the crime in Srebrenica as it did not command the military and the paramilitary in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegrin President Filip Vujanovic said on Monday, adding that he was satisfied with the International Court of Justice's verdict in Bosnia's genocide lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro.

Speaking to the press, Vujanovic said he believed that the Montenegrin public knew that Montenegro could not have prevented the Srebrenica crime, which he labelled as genocide.

Vujanovic said he had expected that Montenegro could not be sued for genocide. Montenegro has always accepted and respected all decisions by international institutions and will equally treat the latest ICJ decision, he said.

Commenting on Croatia's lawsuit against Serbia and Montenegro before the Hague-based ICJ, Vujanovic said Montenegro was developing good neighbourly relations with Croatia that could serve as an example in the region.

"We expressed our maximum apology for what happened on the Dubrovnik battlefield and for what undoubtedly represents a very ugly page in Montenegrin history," he said, reiterating his regret over the victims and destruction in the Dubrovnik area in southern Croatia.

"We have shown full readiness, also through the exchange of cases and the memorandum signed by the two state prosecutor's offices, to prosecute Montenegrin citizens also in cases in which the Croatian prosecution finds grounds for prosecution."

"Montenegro really was not, as a state or its army, engaged in the Dubrovnik battlefield. That was the Yugoslav People's Army, the military of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia," Vujanovic said, voicing hope that the good cooperation between Montenegro and Croatia would continue.

Asked when negotiations would be held on the southern border tip of Prevlaka and what Montenegro would ask for, he said Montenegro was ready to give a positive answer, as a good neighbour, to anything Croatia showed an interest in. "We have reached a good temporary agreement which works well."

All political parties in Montenegro were satisfied with the ICJ ruling as well.
