Josipović je naglasio da bi povlačenje tužbi za genocid dviju zemalja Zagrebu i Beogradu omogućilo da rješavanju druga otvorena pitanja, poput "nestalih lica, suđenja za ratne zločine i povrata kulturnih blaga".
Josipovic noted that the withdrawal of the two countries' respective genocide claims would allow Zagreb and Belgrade to address other outstanding issues, such as "missing persons, war crimes trials and the return of cultural treasures".
