Bosnians honour Srebrenica genocide victims 30 years on
SREBRENICA AND BRATUNAC, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, JUL 11 – More than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed in 1995; ongoing efforts focus on justice, remembrance, and combating denial to prevent future genocides.
- On July 11, 2025, thousands gathered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, to commemorate three decades since the 1995 genocide in which more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed.
- The killings occurred after Bosnian Serb forces overran the UN-protected enclave amid Yugoslavia’s breakup, separating and executing Bosniak men and boys in July 1995.
- Commemoration events included funerals for newly identified victims, speeches by dignitaries such as the Duchess of Edinburgh, and messages from King Charles emphasizing justice and memory.
- Denis Becirovic condemned genocide denial as "illogical, immoral, and unacceptable," while Serbia’s President Vucic called the massacre a "terrible crime" but avoided the term genocide.
- The anniversary highlighted ongoing efforts to find remains and seek justice, acknowledging failures to prevent the atrocity and stressing the need for reconciliation and peace in Bosnia.
