Serbia's Divisive Response to UN's Srebrenica Genocide Resolution

Serbia's harsh reaction to the UN resolution commemorating the 1995 Srebrenica genocide stems from its perception of the resolution as part of a broader Western political offensive against Serbia. The Serbian government fears the resolution could be misused to implicate the Serbian nation and the Republika Srpska in the genocide, despite the resolution's text not attributing collective responsibility. The issue is further complicated by Serbia's strained relations with the EU and the US, its stance on the Ukraine war, and ongoing regional tensions involving Bosnia and Kosovo.
