The Srebrenica propaganda narrative, which the Hague Tribunal has adopted practically in its original form, contends that the Serbian side decided to commit genocide on Muslims at three meetings held at the Fontana hotel in Bratunac on July 11 and 12, 1995. At those meetings major Serbian figures were present along with Muslim civilian representatives but the purpose of the sessions was, in fact, to consider the issue of the civilian population of Srebrenica, which was at that time concentrated in Potočari. Canadian lawyer and international law expert Christopher Black contends — quite to the contrary of the official narrative — that the three meetings held at the Fontana hotel, two in the evening of July 11 and one on July 12, are among the most potent items of evidence for the defense of General Mladić and the Serbian side more generally. Fortunately, all the meetings were video taped. We can, therefore, leave it up to the readers to form their own judgment.
