After a controversial statement from 26 March, when Minister of Justice, Human and Minority Rights Vladimir Leposavić said he was ready to acknowledge that the genocide took place in Srebrenica “once it is unequivocally established”, he had another shameful statement in which he mentioned the word genocide. He then claimed that the situation in Montenegro was as in Jasenovac, but that it was only “at a lower level of crime”.
“Serbs experienced an unprecedented genocide in Jasenovac by the Ustashas, which history has not remembered. Serbs came out of the war with the experience of genocide, only to be declared hegemons in Yugoslavia immediately afterwards. (…) Such a situation exists in Montenegro, only at a lower level of crimes that take place. You are constantly pressuring a nation and constantly calling it guilty”, said Mr Leposavić.
