Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic condemned on May 23 the UN resolution declaring July 11 an international day of remembrance of the Srebrenica genocide.
“They (the resolution's initiators) tried everything in their power to degrade us,“ Vucic told reporters after the U.N. vote.
The resolution, initiated by Germany, Rwanda, and a cross-regional core group that included the United States, was approved by a narrow margin of 84 votes in the 193-member General Assembly, with 19 votes against and 68 abstentions.
Serbia and Bosnian Serbs, who deny that the massacre constituted genocide, declared the vote a failure, arguing that more countries did not vote in favor of the resolution than against it.
They accused the authors of the resolution of branding Serbia as a "genocidal nation," although it was amended to state that the crime of genocide is individualized and cannot be attributed to any specific group.
