Srebrenica Historical Project takes great pleasure to announce the publication of the Proceedings of the scholarly symposium which was held under the Project’s auspices on 22-23 April 2009 in Moscow, at the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Proceedings are entitled: “International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia – activity, results, impact.” Scholars from several countries assembled in Moscow to take part in the symposium. Until now, the complex issues of ICTY and Srebrenica were not the subject of such comprehensive and objective scholarly analysis. The Moscow symposium is but the first step in the systematic work, which lies ahead, to remove these issues from the context of the media and propaganda and to raise them to a scholarly level, where they belong. The text which follows is the Foreword, authored by the president of Srebrenica Historical Project, which summarizes the topics dealt with at the symposium and discusses some future tasks.

On February 23, 2010, the Proceedings were presented by Srebrenica Historical Project president, Stephen Karganović, to the President of the Republic of Srpska, Dr. Rajko Kuzmanović, in his office in Banja Luka. The ceremony was attended by all Moscow symposium participants from the Republic of Srpska: Prof. Željko Vujadinović, Simo Tuševljak, Dr. Ljubiša Simić, Prof. Dževad Galijašević, and Jovan Spaić. President Kuzmanović was eager to be informed about the Project's activities and plans and thanked symposium participants warmly for their significant contribution to ICTY and Srebrenica scholarship.
