[Global Network Report] On the 23rd, the United Nations General Assembly voted to establish an international day for the Srebrenica genocide, and Serbia and other countries voted against it. According to several foreign media reports such as RIA Novosti and Tass News Agency on the 23rd, after the resolution was passed, Serbian President Vucic spoke in the United Nations General Assembly venue wearing the Serbian flag.

According to the Tass News Agency, 84 countries voted in favour of the vote on the 23rd, 19 countries such as Russia, Serbia and China voted against it, and 68 countries abstained. Reported that the Russian side had warned that the adoption of the draft resolution might lead to increased regional tensions. After the adoption of the above resolution by the General Assembly, Vucic spoke in the venue wearing the Serbian flag.

In addition, according to the Serbian "B92" news network, Vucic expressed his gratitude to the countries that did not vote in favour when he spoke on the 23rd. "Those who want to slander the Serbian people have failed, and they will never succeed. They want to put a label on our heads, but they have failed." He also said, "I am very grateful to the Serbian people who are more united than ever before."

French media reported that Vucic also sent pictures of him at the UN General Assembly venue on social media on the 23rd, one of which showed that he was wearing the Serbian flag. "I am proud of my Serbia," he said in the accompanying article.

According to the Xinhua News Agency, Fu Cong, the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, said in an explanatory speech before the UN General Assembly voted on the draft resolution on the establishment of the Srebrenica International Day of Genocide on the 23rd that, with regard to the draft resolution to be voted on by the General Assembly, China has noted that the draft resolution has caused great controversy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and countries and Member States in relevant regions have also expressed strong views on it. China has repeatedly called for full communication with important parties and Member States on the draft resolution and for the relevant process to be promoted on the basis of consensus. The hasty vote on the draft with major differences is inconsistent with the spirit of promoting reconciliation and harmony among Bosnia and Herzegovina's domestic and regional countries, with the expectation of maintaining peace and stability in the western Balkans and Europe as a whole, and with the original intention of demonstrating the unity of Member States through the establishment of the International Day. For this reason, China will have to vote against the draft resolution.

In addition, according to the news released on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 23rd, the spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina answered questions from reporters about the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly on the establishment of the "Srebrenica International Day of Genocide". The spokesman said that China always respects the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and supports the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to choose their own national development path; China has always been committed to developing friendly relations with the people of all ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and hopes that all ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina will strengthen dialogue, enhance mutual trust and achieve reconciliation; China has always played a constructive role in maintaining lasting peace, stability and development in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the western Balkans.
