Serbia's entry into the EU, a key to "reconciliation" for General Morillon
(BRUSSELS2) "Grand Guest" of the 2nd Citadel workshops, which took place yesterday in Lille, General Morillon wanted to give a history lesson on Serbia, of course welcoming the arrest of Mladic - his opponent during of Srebrenica - but also its consequence, the door opened for Serbia to the accession of the European Union (*). A great thing for the general. " I expect reconciliation. The Court of The Hague, by allowing the judgment of those responsible, has, as before in Nüremberg, a merit, not to purge Europe of all war criminals but to allow the demonization of the Serbs, to appease fears, to guarantee to everyone that the other will not be eliminated. The entry of Serbia into the European Union will allow all this »
As for the reproduction of a massacre of Srebrenica, with the same passivity of the UN forces, somewhere in the world, the general no longer considers it renewable. " This was possible because we were then in a sacrosanct rule of non-response except in legitimate cases. From now on, soldiers engaged in peacekeeping operations have the right AND the duty to use force not only when the soldiers are in danger but also when the accomplishment of the mission itself is threatened.. This is a lesson drawn from the past”, precisely from Srebrenica and Rwanda.
