BANJA LUKA, August 13 (FENA) - None of the five former members of the RS Commission, in charge of the investigation of the events in and around Srebrenica in the period from 10 to 19 July 1995, will not attend the special session of the RS National Assembly scheduled for tomorrow.

They argue that this is all unnecessary, and especially because the Information in which RS President Milorad Dodik explained his request to convene this assembly session is largely related to the work of the RS Government’s Task Force, whose members have not been invited to attend the session.

In a joint statement signed by former members of the Commission on the events in Srebrenica, which was in operation in 2004, point out that the content of the Information on the Commission Report on events in and around Srebrenica in the period from 10 to 19 July 1995, refers to the Report of the RS Government’s Task Force for drafting the conclusions from the Final Report of the Srebrenica Commission, and not the report of the Commission itself.

“The Information also states that 'the immediate cause' for considering the Report of the Commission is that the representatives of the Mothers of Srebrenica association submitted to the German authorities a list with the names of more than 22,000 Serbs who, according to them, participated in the genocide in Srebrenica. The aforementioned list is the result of the work of the Task Force and not the Srebrenica Commission,” it is said in the statement.

They consider the report to be superficial, among other things, as it does not differentiate between the terms "victims" and "missing persons".

“The Commission has drawn up a list of missing persons, and not the persons who were the subject of war crimes, based on already existing missing persons’ lists in connection to the Srebrenica events in July 1995 and other sources. A list of 7,806 names refers to persons reported as missing in the Srebrenica area during July 1995,” it is said in the statement.

Members of the Commission on the events in Srebrenica have added, inter alia, that the Srebrenica Commission Report bears no legal substance and that the interpretations of the reports and the documentation outside their content represent misuse no matter who is at the source.
