lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in this debate and at this time, a great deal of attention is being paid to the past, and rightly so. How was it possible for what happened in Srebrenica to occur and what are the lessons we should draw from it? Srebrenica not only has a painful past, it also has a painful present. There are people from Srebrenica who are languishing in refugee camps, still unable to return home. Children are given a totally one-sided view of the events ten years ago, as a result of which a necessary conciliation is not forthcoming. The identification of victims is desperately needed if those left behind are to begin to accept their loved ones’ terrible fate, but because identification is expensive, it takes far too long. What we now need is not just to consider what happened ten years ago, but also Srebrenica today, which will involve understanding it and, where necessary, providing funds to rescue it. Fortunately, a second Srebrenica is not likely to happen in the Balkans today, but the wounds inflicted across the whole region then can be healed structurally only if the countries of the Balkans know themselves to be welcome in Europe. I am therefore completely behind the Commission’s position that stated that the countries of the Balkans still have the prospect of membership. The Balkans are in Europe. So is Srebrenica. Let us never forget that lesson."@en1
