Stano: Whoever tries to question genocide in Srebrenica has no place in the EU

“Whoever tries to question the genocide in Srebrenica has no place in the European Union”, Union spokesman Peter Stano has said.

These comments, Stano has made at a media conference Wednesday, stressing that any action contrary to European principles and values influences the EU-appointed country's membership process.

The genocide in Srebrenica is a very unfortunate and tragic historical fact. We remember this tragedy every year before that day, July 11th, in the form of a joint statement by the High Representative and Commissioner for Enlargement. What it contains in that statement is the position of the EU, which we remember each year that anyone who tries to question this genocide, who tries to deglore war criminals, has no place in the EU”, the potential Stano.
