​The Government has invited heads of Government from all six Western Balkans countries to the Summit in London in July. We are clear that the Srebrenica massacre was an act of genocide and make that clear in our engagement in the region. We will be working with leaders from the region to address legacy issues from the conflicts of the 1990s in the context of our Summit, including by supporting accountability for war crimes.
