Only \u00a0one year later, in an open letter addressed to the same Serbian Prime Minister, the Mothers of Srebrenica state that \u201cthose who deny the genocide in Srebrenica are not welcome in Poto\u010dari on July 11<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d. The letter goes on to state: \u201cThat July 11<sup>th<\/sup> of 2015 should have been our day, and you stole it from us.

The politicians in Serbia and Republika Srpska should not politicize the International Court\u2019s ruling that genocide did indeed take place in Srebrenica. Its victims deserve compassion, and their mothers are entitled to honesty concerning everything they lived through, and still cope with on a daily basis. In terms of the future of B&amp;H and the region, dialogue, understanding and acknowledgement of what happened are the only way forward, with everything else just serving to deepen existing social divisions and strengthen the prejudices built on mythomaniacal versions of the past and politicized history. Srebrenica should not be used as a training ground for political games, and it certainly isn\u2019t the place to sit down and try to resolve a myriad of other problems plaguing the region. However, the emotional tension surrounding these issues is so strong, I fear we\u2019ll have to wait a long time before we hear different voices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOM, July 08, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At last year\u2019s ceremony commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, the Mothers of Srebrenica staged a warm welcome&#8230; ","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":139754,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-memorialization"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
