Bosnia and Herzegovina today marked the 26th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica.
Over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in July 1995 by Bosnian Serb forces.
“Until all those who attacked Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq then prime minister who went to Srebrenica to express respect for the victims and the Bosniak people -- we, officials -- do not have the place there”, Brnabiq told Serbia's Prva Television.
According to her, it's “candal” that no one has claimed responsibility for the attack on Vuciki, which means that “something like this can happen again”.
“I express great regret because a terrible crime has occurred in Srebrenica and I have no problem expressing respect for all victims, Brnabyq said.
In July 2015, Vuciq attended the commemoration of genocide victims at the Potocari memorial centre in Srebrenica, where some participants, dissatisfied with his presence, threw plastic bottles and other items in its direction.
During the war in Bosnia in the 1990s, Vucic was an official of the Serbian Radical Party, which had its paramilitary formations in the battlefields of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
Vuciq was part of this party until 2008, when he formed his Serbian Progressive Party, which currently holds power in Serbia.
