Thousands of people gathered in Bosnia and Herzegovina to commemorate the Srebrenica massacre of 30 years ago — the first recognised case of genocide in Europe since World War Two.
So far, about 7-thousand victims have been identified and buried, while about 1-thousand are still missing. The remains of seven victims of the massacre were laid to rest during today’s official commemorations. Located in the east of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Srebrenica was overrun by Bosnian Serb fighters in 1995. More than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were executed in a few days. Both Bosnia’s Serbs and neigboring Serbia still refuse to acknowledge the massacre as genocide — despite rulings by two UN courts. We spoke to Arnesa Buljusmic-Kustura, a Bosniak genocide scholar and educator.
