NO RECONCILIATION UNLESS CRIMES AGAINST SERBS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED

EAST SARAJEVO, MAY 3 /SRNA/ - There will be no reconciliation until the crimes against Serbs in the past war are acknowledged, said the envoy of the Serb member and chairman of the BiH Presidency Boško Tomić, expressing regret that no one has yet been held accountable for the massacre of JNA members in Dobrovoljačka Street in Sarajevo.

"There is only one truth, and when we try to get to the actual truth with the Bosniaks, they avoid it. They interpret it in their own way," Tomić, who is attending the commemoration of the 33rd anniversary of the crime against JNA soldiers in Dobrovoljačka Street, told the press.

He believes that it is necessary to discuss the fact that Bosniaks celebrated the so-called defence of BiH yesterday, recalling how they killed seven people in the JNA House.

Tomić pointed out that the then Presidency member, Ejup Ganić, used the opportunity to commit a crime for which there is still no verdict.

If the Serb army had done something similar, Tomić says that they would have acted very quickly and efficiently.

He stated that the statement of the former commander of the Fifth Corps of the so-called Army of BiH, Atif Dudaković, who said that the same should be done with the captured soldiers as it was done with "the previous ones", was not enough evidence for the unconstitutional Prosecutor’s Office.

"It means that they should be liquidated," Tomić pointed out.

The JNA convoy was attacked in Dobrovoljačka Street while it was peacefully withdrawing from Sarajevo according to the earlier agreement and with the guarantee of the UN peacekeeping forces headed by General Louis McKenzie.

The attack was directed by the then member of the BiH Presidency, Ejup Ganić, and the leadership of the then so-called RBiH.

According to the data of the Republic Research Centrev on War, War Crimes and Tracing Missing Persons, at least 28 JNA members were killed in Sarajevo on May 2 and 3.
