Vucic: Serbia has more serious, stronger arguments at ICJ

BELGRADE – Serbia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Sunday that Serbia has more serious and stronger legal arguments than Croatia in the current genocide case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), but pointed out that Serbia does not want to damage relations with anybody.

It should not be forgotten that attacks on Serbs in Croatia resulted in less than 30 percent of the number of Serbs who lived in the Croatia under the borders drawn by the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) living in Croatia now, Vucic told reporters.

He said that Serbia does not want no to spoil its relationship with anyone, “but certain others did not want the withdrawal of the charges.”

The public hearings at the ICJ in the dispute between Serbia and Croatia over mutual charges of genocide relating to the 1991-95 war in Croatia will resume, with Serbia giving its oral argument, on Monday.
