Overview

  • Seven newly identified victims, including two 19-year-olds and a 67-year-old woman, will be interred at the Potocari memorial on July 11.
  • About 7,000 Srebrenica victims have been identified and buried since 1995, leaving around 1,000 still unaccounted for after the last major mass grave was discovered in 2021.
  • The UN General Assembly designated July 11 as an International Day of Commemoration for the genocide in 2024, solidifying global recognition despite regional resistance.
  • Milorad Dodik, leader of Bosnian Serbs, regularly denies the genocide and disputes casualty figures, appearing frequently in denial narratives across Republika Srpska and Serbian media.
  • Emir Suljagic, director of the Srebrenica memorial center, warns that separate Serb commemorations in Bratunac for over 3,200 victims highlight an ongoing split in collective memory.
