IGC sent a message to the Ambassador of Canada to Bosnia and Herzegovina based in Budapest, François Lafrenière, regarding the anti-constitutional celebration of January 9 as the Republika Srpska Entity Day
Among other things, it says in the message
“It is shameful that in an era of democracy, with human rights protections and freedoms, at the center of a united Europe, after the Holocaust and after “Never again!”, more than twenty years after the gravest crime in Europe since the Second World War (the Srebrenica genocide), and genocidal aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska will celebrate the day of its creation on January 9. For all friends of truth and justice in the world, January 9 in Republika Srpska recalls nothing other than the horror of aggression and genocide as well as the attempted destruction of the sovereign state of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina”.
