Ref: Waktu perang Yugoslavia, dari NKRI dikirim sukarelawan, sekarang namanya 
pejihad untuk membantu Bosnia. Selain  itu juga Soeharto,  presiden NKRI 
mengadakan kunjungan ke Bosnia yang berada dalam keadaan perang dan menjanjikan 
untuk memberikan bantuan membangun sebuah mesjid. Apakah mesjid yang dijanjikan 
sudah dibangun, tak ada khabar.

Bagus sekali presiden Serbia meminta maaf menunjukan adanya budaya maaf, hal 
ini sangat berbeda  jika dibandingkan dengan presiden-presiden dan petinggi 
NKRI yang hanya meminta maaf sebagai sepuhan lidah pada hari raya agama, tetapi 
tak pernah meminta maaf atas nama negara terhadap korban kekejaman rezim yang 
mereka lanjutkan.

Serbia's nationalist President Tomislav Nikolic has personally apologised for 
the first time for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8000 Muslims.

However, he's stopped short of calling it genocide.

"I kneel and ask for forgiveness for Serbia for the crime committed in 
Srebrenica," Nikolic said of the slaughter, the worst atrocity in Europe since 
World War II.

"I apologise for the crimes committed by any individual in the name of our 
state and our people," he said in Thursday's interview to be aired on Bosnian 
national television, parts of which have been released on YouTube.

After being elected last May, Nikolic caused a stir by refusing to acknowledge 
the massacre in the Bosnian enclave - in which some 8000 Muslim men and boys 
were killed by Bosnian Serb forces - was a genocide, despite it being ruled as 
such by two international courts.

Nikolic at the time said "there was no genocide in Srebrenica".

Until five years ago Nikolic was a top official of the ultra-nationalist 
Serbian Radical Party, which has denied Serb forces committed crimes during the 
Balkans wars of the 1990s.

Its leader Vojislav Seselj is on trial for war crimes before The Hague-based UN 
International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia.

While this marks Nikolic's first apology on Srebrenica, Serbia has in the past 
expressed regret over the deaths.
