>> Not directly responsible for the genocide in Bosnian War. This was the first time a state was charged with genocide and could have further implications for future genocide suits.

>> Survivors of the genocide at Srebrenica were more than disappointed with the historic decision. In its application to the courts in 1993 about combos nah said it must not turn it's eyes away from Srebrenica. They ruled Belgrade was not responsible for the state policy of genocide during the Bosnian war.  


>> More that the respondant exercised control.

>> Belgrade argued it had nothing to do with Bosnia's internal conflict. But the judge has established that genocide took place at Srebrenica needs r and blamed Servia for failing to stop it. The ruling said Serbia had violated its international obligations and refused to turn over ratko mladic and Slobodan Milosevic. They are both believed to be hiding in Serbia. In a reaction from the country that brought the claim, a Bosnian Muslim member of Bosnian's presidency said he was happy that Serbia was found guilty of violating the genocide convention.

>> We are still digging the graves and finding a lot of dead people there.  That is true. I think we all know who is the guilty party. That is Serbia. Unfortunately this is what happens. Serbia was found guilty on three counts of failure to prevent genocide from being the most important one of them.  

                                
>> For Belgrade's legal team, court decision was a victory. This is the first time a state has been judged over genocide. That Serbia has been cleared of a state policy of genocide has big implications of other cases on whether states or individuals can be held responsibility for the most serious war crimes. But breaching the genocide convention and not handing over the top fugitives is something Serbia will have to defend in its push to join the European Union.
