The Alliance for a Better Future of B&H welcomes the decision of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Valentin Inzko to impose amendments to the B&H Criminal Code prohibiting and punishing the denial of genocide against Bosniaks in Srebrenica, as well as all other forms of crimes against humanity and war crimes.

- Delighted by the decision of the High Representative, Mr. Inzko, which the citizens of B&H and the victims expected much earlier, we emphasize that the OHR move is a completely expected gesture of civilization, which prevents the last phase of genocide, ie its denial.

The state of Bosnia and Herzegovina needed such a legal solution, because the conscious denial of genocide by certain individuals and groups constantly disrupted interethnic relations and led to tensions in our country.

After the expected, but also very brave decision of Mr. Inzko, we believe that the awareness of all politicians in B&H will be awaken, who for years prevented the adoption of the law on genocide denial, and that changes to the Criminal Code imposed by the OHR will be confirmed in the B&H Parliamentary Assembly.

It is also significant that this decision, in a way, confirms the unequivocal position of the international community and its support for the OHR, as well as all the positive processes and necessary changes in B&H - the statement said.
