Bosnia and Herzegovina–Serbia relations

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has rejected a request to revise the ruling in the case of Bosnia's genocide lawsuit against Serbia.

The reason is the disputed legitimacy of Sarajevo's legal representative, Serbia's state broadcaster RTS reported on Thursday.

The legal team of Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday filed a letter requesting a revision of the ICJ verdict on that country's genocide lawsuit against Serbia.

This has been reported by the N1 broadcaster.

Russia vetoed a draft UN resolution on July 8 that would have recognized the Srebrenica massacre as genocide, triggering warnings the bitter diplomatic wrangling could spark renewed violence.

The Serbian president’s office and the leader of Bosnia’s Serb-led entity Republika Srpska have suggested asking Russia to veto a proposed UN Security Council resolution condemning the Srebrenica genocide.

Serbia should seek the support of Russia in the UN Security Council to block the adoption of a resolution on Srebrenica.

The Belgrade-based daily Danas said it learned this from the cabinet of the President of Serbia.
