Srebrenica Genocide Commemoration Highlights Ongoing Ethnic Tensions

Thousands gather to honor victims as UN designates July 11 as an International Day of Reflection, while genocide denial persists among Serb leaders.

The remains of 14 victims were laid to rest nearly three decades after the massacre.
The UN resolution establishes July 11 as a day to remember the 1995 genocide, opposed by Serbia and Bosnian Serbs.
Over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in the worst atrocity in Europe since WWII.
Despite convictions, many Bosnian Serb officials continue to deny the genocide and glorify war criminals.
Economic decline and high unemployment persist in Srebrenica, affecting both Bosniak and Serb communities.
