UN General Assembly. As expected, there were some harsh words - primarily for domestic use
The United Nations Security Council discussed the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina last night. Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the UN Zlatko Lagumdžija showed disrespect for the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina by initiating the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica without the authorization and consensus of all three constituent nations, Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Željka Cvijanović said, as reported by RTS.
She pointed out, which was repeated by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučič, that this resolution is being used as a "destabilizing factor", and that the violation of the rule of law and the actions of High Representative Christian Schmidt, "who is something between a colonial governor and a modern despot", lead from one into another crisis.
Cvijanović pointed out that his activity is contrary to the Dayton Agreement, and that some members of the UN believe that the Resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica is benign, "which is far from the truth."
"The legal adviser of the Bosniak leaders, Francis Boyle, said that the forces must be used to abolish the Republika Srpska. This speaks of the intention to use this resolution as a destabilizing factor in Bosnia and Herzegovina," said Cvijanović.
The session of the UN Security Council was convened as part of the lobbying of Serbia and the Serbian entity in BiH Republika Srpska, with the support of Russia, against the adoption of the resolution on genocide in the UN General Assembly, which will be on the agenda later this month, Radio Free Europe (RSE) writes. .
When nine years ago the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica was being decided in the SC, Russia prevented it with its veto. At the General Assembly, there is no possibility of a veto, a simple majority decides.

The discussions that followed were expected. The Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vasilj Nebenzja, said that "we, as members of the Security Council, cannot remain indifferent to this call for help" - RS's call to prevent the adoption of the resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, which "threatens the security of BiH."
The deputy US ambassador to the UN, Robert Wood, said, on the other hand, that the session initiated by Russia was an attempt to use the UN Security Council for "ethno-nationalist rhetoric and the threat of one side".
He emphasized that the actions of "some leaders, including Milorad Dodik, especially the denial of genocide, are something that causes concern."
"Srebrenica was not a mistake, it is an inexorable fact that genocide was committed in Srebrenica." That was established by international courts," said Wood.
In a similar tone, the "modern despot", high representative for BiH Kristijan Šmit, whom Cvijanović accused of interfering in democratic processes in BiH, spoke.
