Israeli academic Gideon Greif was the head of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (Greif Report). The commission was set up at the initiative of Milorad Dodik (Serb nationalist leader), a former prime minister, then president of Republika Srpska and now the Serb member of the tripartite presidency of Bosnia. The commission was formally appointed by consecutive decisions (04/1-012-2-345/19 and 04/1-012-2-346/19) “of the Government of Republika Srpska … dated February 7, 2019.”

The report concludes “after a thorough investigation . . . that neither the individual crime of genocide nor genocide in general took place in Srebrenica” and that “there is no indication that there was a special intent to commit genocide. Furthermore, no substantial part of the protected group of Muslims in Bosnia was destroyed.” (Greif Report, p. 86.)
