Understanding this quote
The speaker says that an honest, evidence-based examination of the recent past is not possible yet. This includes asking who was responsible for the suffering experienced by neighboring countries and by the Serbian people themselves. The wording presents this kind of judgment as something that must wait until there is room for a factual and objective discussion.
