According to the AP, Silajdzic criticised Serbia for what he believed were politically motivated arrests of Bosnian nationals for alleged involvement in war crimes during the conflict between the two former Yugoslav republics in the early 1990s.
Prema pisanju AP-a, Silajdžić je kritikovao Srbiju zbog, kako on veruje, politički motivisanih hapšenja državljana Bosne, zbog navodne umešanosti u ratne zločine tokom sukoba te dve bivše jugoslovenske republike početkom devedesetih godina.
