J649-BOSNIA 30 ANIVERSARIO GENOCIDIO SREBENICA

Bosnia was preparing on Thursday (July 10) to mark 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, with the remains of seven recently identified victims set to be laid to rest on Friday (July 11).

The massacre unfolded after Srebrenica - a designated U.N. "safe area" for civilians in Bosnia's 1992-95 war that followed the disintegration of federal Yugoslavia - was overrun by nationalist Bosnian Serb forces. They killed about 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the following days.

Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic and political leader Radovan Karadzic were arrested after the war and convicted of genocide by a U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague for their role in the killings.

The massacre was declared a genocide by two international courts. The designation has been persistently denied by the leaders of Bosnian Serbs and by neighbouring Serbia, both of which question the numbers of victims.
