Paolo Pellegrin On July 11, 2012, the 17th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, coffins were carried from a warehouse in Potocari to a nearby cemetery.
The Bosnian government held enclave of Srebrenica was
(...) put under UN protection in 1993. In July 1995 the Dutch UN forces in Srebrenica surrendered to Bosnian Serb forces, paving the way for a massacre to commence. Over the next few days over 8,000 Bosnian males of all ages were hunted down and executed in the surrounding area. It was the worst massacre and the first legally recognized active genocide in Europe since WWII.
