EC spokeswoman says no room to glorify war criminals

There is no room in Europe for genocide denial, revisionism and the glorifying of war criminals, EC spokeswoman Ana Pisonero said in a written reply commenting the fact that convicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj received a decoration from a Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) bishop.

Our stand is clear, attempts at redrawing history are unacceptable, Pisonero is quoted as saying. She added that religious leaders and communities have a responsibility to show leadership in overcoming difficult heritage and being constructive in nurturing mutual trust, dialogue and tolerance all of which are required for stability, a peaceful future and progress.
