Today we commemorate with respect and honor eight thousand men and boys killed brutally in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the most inhuman act of genocide in the world in the 20th century.
Today we remember those who were brutally killed and those who were buried after 20 years of the darkest acts of humanity and also remember the thousands of missing, by a cruel act in an effort to destroy human lives.
The massacre victims in Srebrenica demand justice even 20 years after the massacre and we must ensure that they will rest peacefully, when the perpetrators of their murders are faced with the force of law. We must remember so that crime against humanity will never be repeated again, we have to learn that the genocide committed in Srebrenica cannot be terminated and kept silence without penalty.
Justice must be put in place, to pave the way for reconciliation in the Balkans, the great reconciliation between the people who have passed heavy histories between them. Forgiveness cannot happen without putting in front of justice all those who have committed crimes in the name of meaningless wars in the Balkans and justice will prevail when all the perpetrators of the acts of genocide in the Balkans will be faced with it.
On this anniversary of great pain and suffering, Kosovo, today, is with the families of all the victims of genocide in Srebrenica, in a time when it itself is healing its war wounds.
