(23 Feb 2017) Bosnia's legal representative Sakib Softic arrived at the International Court of Justice on Thursday to submit an appeal to a 2007 ICJ ruling that cleared Serbia from accusations of involvement in genocide in Bosnia from 1992-1995.
Softic was accompanied by Dutch lawyer Phon Van den Biesen and representatives of victims associations of Bosnia.
The top leaders of Serbia and Bosnian Serbs warned on Wednesday that the decision by Bosnia's Muslim leader to revive the wartime genocide lawsuit against Serbia at the United Nations' top court was rekindling divisions that led to the 1992-95 war
Bosnia will claim that new evidence surfaced in last ten years, concerning Serbian troops and its commanders involvement in killings in Srebrenica and elsewhere in Bosnia, which directly link Serbian President Milosevic and his then government or military in war crimes in Bosnia.
The bid to appeal the 2007 ruling also dealt a major blow to postwar reconciliation and Bosnia's survival as a multi-ethnic state, Serb officials said.
The Srebrenica massacre was Europe's worst mass killing since World War II.
