Serbia's President Apologizes For The Srebrenica Massacre

Serbian President Apologises For Srebrenica 'Crime' -- BBC

Serbia's President, Tomislav Nikolic, has apologised for all "crimes" committed by Serbs during the break-up of Yugoslavia, including Srebrenica.

But he refused to call the killing of thousands of Bosnian Muslims an act of genocide, as recognised by UN war crimes prosecutors.

Mr Nikolic said he was kneeling down and seeking forgiveness for Srebrenica.

The president is a former senior figure in the ultra-nationalist Serbian Radical Party.

He was criticised after his election last year when he said: "There was no genocide in Srebrenica."

Some 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were killed at Srebrenica in 1995 after Bosnian Serb forces overran the UN-defended safe area there.
