Serbia President Tomislav Nikolic has once again denied that genocide took place in Srebrenica in comments made to an Italian newspaper.
Nikolic told Corriere della Sera,
"Genocide did not take place in Srebrenica... This is about individual guilt of members of the Serb people. The Serbian parliament condemned this crime, but did not say it was genocide. No Serb recognises that genocide took place in Srebrenica, and I am no different."
Predrag Simic, professor at the Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences commented on Nikolic's statement, saying that the majority of Serbs still do not believe that a genocide took place. He stated,
"A big portion of the western public believes that genocide happened in Srebrenica... Admitting into the European Union a country that has committed the most severe crime is unacceptable."
