Vujinovic: With its adoption in the General Assembly, Srebrenica Resolution will become a political weapon

Security studies researcher Nikola Vujinovic says that if the Resolution on Srebrenica is adopted by the UN General Assembly, it will become a political weapon.

"If adopted, the Srebrenica Resolution will become a political weapon, and I sincerely hope it will not be. We have a problem with international courts, which are political instruments. We have witnessed the special court in The Hague, the one currently judging Kosovo Albanians, and even the International Court of Justice, which was supposed to be the supreme court but behaves towards Israel as if nothing is happening in Gaza. It is all political," Vujinovic says.

According to him, if the UN General Assembly adopts the Srebrenica Resolution, the "sky is the limit" on how that document will impact future events and similar crises in the world.

He emphasizes that such a document will first be utilized by officials in Sarajevo and that it should not be ruled out that Kosovo will use the resolution to achieve its goals.

"The fact that this political resolution will be adopted and accepted in the General Assembly – the sky is the limit. We have announcements from Sarajevo that they will seek war reparations despite the Hague court ruling that Serbia did not participate in that crime. Serbia is not the target here, but as we know, political stories, political arguments, and then Kosovo Albanians can indeed file such a lawsuit," Vujinovic stresses.

He points out that the problem with such resolutions or lawsuits is not how these processes will end but the qualifications expressed.

"The issue with lawsuits is often not whether they will be resolved but a matter of reputation. Because, there should be EXPO 2027, and someone labels Serbia as a genocidal state. I'm not quite sure that every potential exhibitor will respond and come to a genocidal state. Everything has its meaning," Vujinovic states.

He is convinced that such a resolution would suit Kurti the most because, due to conflicts with Kosovo's allied countries, primarily the US and Germany, his continued stay in power is questionable, and he has so far gained his legitimacy in elections by "fighting against Serbs."

"In my opinion, the stability of Kurti's regime is questionable. He is under the control of the United States and Germany, and he can easily be removed. And he cannot achieve any legitimacy among his people except by fighting against Serbs," Vujinovic concluded.
