Is recognition of Genocide in the eye of the beholder?

On Wednesday July 8, 2015, Russia vetoed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution that would have formally recognized the Srebrenica massacre as genocide. The resolution was commemorating 20 years of the Srebrenica genocide, which was proposed by the UK and provoked a firestorm of controversy in Serbia and the Republika Srpska as somehow existentially threatening the Serb people, and which was finally vetoed by Russia in the Council.
