The Institute for Genocide Research Canada (IGC) has filed a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office of B&H against Tanjug's journalist Marko Trošić for denying the genocide in Srebrenica.

According to the IGC in a press release, during the interview of B&H Presidency Chairman Željko Komšić in his office, Trošić denied the genocide in Srebrenica which was established by final verdicts of international and national courts, in which he committed the crime under Article 145a paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code of B&H.

As proof of the allegations made, the IGC submitted material evidence from the media which clearly and unequivocally shows the denial of the Srebrenica genocide.

Namely, the mentioned journalist expressed his own opinion, which is not based on judicial, historical and scientific facts about the genocide in Srebrenica. During the interview, the journalist first said that he would not agree with the statement that there was genocide, and then that his position was not important.

- The journalist, therefore, did not express the facts, but his own comment and opinion, which directly deny judicial, scientific and historical facts about the genocide in Srebrenica. By denying the genocide in Srebrenica, the journalist humiliated the victims of genocide, but also international courts, international law, international justice and international institutions, especially the UN - IGC announced.
