The Serb Civic Council (Serbian: Српско грађанско вијеће, romanized: Srpsko građansko vijeće, SGV) is a non-governmental organization based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[1] Among its founding leaders were wartime Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency member Mirko Pejanović, University of Sarajevo professor Ljubo Berberović, Oslobođenje journalist Rajko Živković, and lawyer Žarko Bulić.
[3] The discussion included the implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision on the constituency of Bosnia and Herzegovina's people, return, and the threats made against the SCC members and their families.
In July 2011, four months following the arrest of the retired Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) general Jovan Divjak in Vienna by the Austrian Bundespolizei according to the Serbia-issued Interpol-wide war crimes warranted over Divjak's command responsibility for the deadly May 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in the Dobrovoljačka Street in Sarajevo,[4] the SGV along with three other Sarajevo-based NGOs, Croat National Council (HNV), Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals Council (VKBI), and Krug 99, put out a joint press release, calling for Divjak to be released because "the warrant from Serbia isn't based on legally norms, but only designed for propaganda effect",[5] while SGV member Sretko Tomašević added: "We know they [Serbia] have no moral compass and we know they're a product of the activity of the Greater Serbia ideologues, so now even Jovan Dovjak, an ethnic Serb who served in the ARBiH, has found himself a target of that country [Serbia]".
Furthermore, it has no right to even call itself 'Serb' because SGV is a group of people gathered around Mirko Pejanović who spent the entire Bosnian War in the service of Alija Izetbegović as well as the Bosniak military and political leadership.
