Summary/Abstract: In the light of the socio-political occurrences of contemporary reality, it is imposed the need of deliberation on Bosnia and Herzegovina's position in regional strategies and trends. The rejection of the Srebrenica Commission Report by the Republika Srpska National Assembly and then the Government in the summer of 2018 it can be recognized as one of the goals set out in SANU Memorandum 2. Besides the final Report of the Commission, the Government of the Entity of the Republika Srpska put out the force the reports of the Working Group of the Government of the Republika Srpska, adopted on 30 March and 30 September 2005, which relate to the implementation of the conclusions of the final Srebrenica Commission Report with all attachments. The facts presented in Srebrenica Report to the RS Government, as well as the findings of the Commission in its work, were introduced into evidence in the proceedings before the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and before the courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their validity and credibility have been consistently confirmed in the proceedings conducted. The memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts 2 (SANU) precisely defines strategic goals by giving directions for their operationalization. The prime goal is to position Serbia after the military and political defeats it suffered in the wars of the late twentieth century, and to strike a balance and achieve equality with all countries aggressively attacked by Serbia. The Memorandum is structured in several chapters elaborated in detail with directions of action for political elite of Republika Srpska and Serbia. Thus, it is emphasized that it is necessary to reduce the responsibility for the crimes and destruction committed, and the indictments, warrants and mounted court proceedings against citizens of Bosnia and in that way to bring Serbia in an equal position with the surrounding countries. At the same time, it is necessary to draw attention of regional and international media from the completed processes to the former members of the Serbian political, intelligence and military and political leadership of Republika Srpska. It is quite clear that Great Serbian politics is still living and that it has merely adapted its methods to new circumstances and new international political relations.
