Croatia PM extends condolences over death of Hatidza Mehmedovic

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic on Monday sent his condolences to the Mothers of Srebrenica civil society organisation on the occasion of the death of the organisation's president, Hatidza Mehmedovic.

"It is with regret that I received news of Hatidza Mehmedovic's death, a symbol of Srebrenica mothers and women who, losing her sons, husband and many members of her extended family in the cruel execution committed that sorrowful Bosnian July in 1995, dedicated her entire life to consistently searching for the truth and a just punishment for the perpetrators of that unprecedented crime," Plenkovic wrote.

She tirelessly and courageously stood for each of the 8,372 Srebrenica men, boys and women whose lives were savagely taken away in the genocidal slaughter and to the end spoke on behalf of their mothers, wives, daughters, he added.

May her mother's sorrow, pain and wisdom be a message to everyone in these regions: Never again!, he said.

"On behalf of the Croatian people, the government of Croatia and on my own behalf, I express my deepest and sincerest condolences," Plenkovic's message to the Mothers of Srebrenica organisation read.
