MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Friday that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia continued to create the myth that the Serbian people were solely responsible for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia.

The ministry made the comments in a statement reacting to the conviction of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic by U.N. judges of genocide for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
