Serbia had failed to prevent the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica during the Bosnian war... [The] genocide did take place at Srebrenica, and gave a long list of atrocities throughout Bosnia which it said were carried out by Bosnian Serb fighters. But the court said it could not prove strict intent by the Serbian state, and therefore decided Serbia was not guilty of genocide...The practical effect of the ruling is to spare Serbia from being forced to pay heavy financial reparations that Bosnia was seeking over the massacre.
Read the article. Serbia is currently attempting to join the European Union. If the court found Serbia guilty, they most likely would not be able to meet the requirements to join. WHO CARES?? Whatever happened to rights of the Bosnian people who lost their lives unfairly?
