Jelica Miniq: Serbia has already penetrated dangerous waters

Jelica Miniq, the head of the European Movement in Serbia, called on Serbian authorities to remove the wall in Belgrade with the image of criminal Ratko Mladic and to undertake “strong action” against the deregulation of war criminals, reports the Serbian newspaper Danas.

Minic notes that this is just one of a series of messages that “arrived with this case from addresses we claim are important to us”.

“Already on November 11th, European Union spokeswoman Ana Pisonero stressed that the EU's stance is firm and clear. She said a country aspiring to EU membership is expected to comply with the core values of EU rule of law, democracy and justice. This certainly does not involve the legalisation of war criminals, denial of war crimes, and a lack of will to be reconciled, which appeared in the Wall case. Later, the head of the European Union delegation to Serbia, Emmanuel Ziofre, spoke on November 12th in a conversation with Brened Minister Aleksandar Vulin, repeating that the EU has a clear and firm stand for overcoming the past and the non-globalisation of war criminals”, she said.

The head of the European Movement in Serbia recalls that the American Embassy said they see nothing honorable in holding the wall of a war criminal, and that “hopes Serbia will focus on a brighter and more inclusive future”.

“Nine Eurodeputs from the Green and Social Democrats also reacted with a very clear message that it is unacceptable for a candidate country to join the EU, to place its police to protect the mal of a convicted war criminal who is directly responsible for crimes, mass, murder and genocide”, says Jelica Miniq.

She said this confirms the collapse of democracy, rule of law and fundamental human rights in Serbia, precisely for which they refer.

According to her, Serbia has already gone deep into dangerous waters.
