Bert Bakker, former parliamentarian
of the left liberal D66 party and Chairman of the Parliamentary Inquiry
Commission on Srebrenica, has spoken at the national Srebrenica Memorial Day in
The Hague. He said that the Netherlands
has difficulty to admit its mistakes of the past. He added that we should recognize that in
addition to the faults of others, and despite our good intentions, we failed,
and we should accept responsibility. We
should recognize that we should apologize.
That should not only help the surviving family members, but also help to
come clean with our past.
