A vote in the UN General Assembly
on a contentious resolution on the Srebrenica genocide,
originally scheduled for May 2, has been postponed and will not
take place before May 6, ANSA learned from diplomatic sources at
the United Nations. This is the second postponement of the
resolution, which was scheduled for a vote on April 27.
According to sources, the new postponement stems from a failure
to finalise the document's definitive text. The Serbian and
Bosnian Serb leaderships strongly oppose the resolution on
Srebrenica, proposed by Bosnia-Herzegovina's permanent
representative to the United Nations, Zlatko Lagumdzija, and
supported by Germany and other major Western countries.
