Denial of the 1995 genocide in Bosnia has become mainstream among Serbian political and academic circles, analysts say.
When Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated in an interview with broadcaster Deutsche Welle in November that the massacre in Srebrenica was not a genocide, Bosnians weren't surprised.
The denial of the genocide began as soon as it occurred in Bosnia's UN-protected enclave in 1995, but many have remarked that it has become increasingly mainstream in Serbian political and academic circles.
That explains why an online petition has been launched in Canada by the Institute for Research of Genocide (IRGC), requesting the Canadian government to enact a law making Srebrenica genocide denial a punishable offence.
If the petition is adopted, Canada would join nine other countries in Europe including Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Macedonia in prohibiting genocide denial.
