SREBRENICA NUMBERS EXPLAINED: 5336 v. 8000

PHOTO: Janko Velimirovic, director of the so called 'Republika Srpska Center for War Crime Research' is an outspoken Srebrenica genocide denier and a man who regularly twists facts and deliberately manipulates with the judgements of the International Criminal Tribunal.

Bosnian Serb institutions, particularly the so called 'Republika Srpska Center for the Research of War Crimes' [Republicki Centar za Istrazivanje Ratnih Zlocina], continue to show a total lack of professionalism and respect for the forensic science and the international courts which proved - well beyond any reasonable doubt - that Serb forces killed 8,000 unarmed Bosniaks in the July 1995 Srebrenica genocide.

5,336 v. 8,000 victims

According to the Institute for the Research of Genocide,

"Just one hour after the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) gave its verdict in the case of ‘Popovic et al.’, the director of the Bosnian Serb (RS) Center for the Research of War Crimes, Janko Velimirovic, chose to misrepresent the facts laid out in the judgement by informing the Serb public that the Tribunal had reversed its earlier finding that 8,000 Bosniaks had been massacred in the Srebrenica genocide. According to Velimirovic, the Hague Tribunal ruled that 'after the fall of the Srebrenica enclave, at least 5,336 people were killed, which leads to the conclusion that the [Tribunal] dropped the claim of 7,000 to 8,000 Muslim victims.' (1) Velimirovic’s allegations are both incorrect and misleading. What did the Judgement actually say?"
