Bosnia marks the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide

8372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys died at the hands of Bosnian Serb forces amid the break-up of Yugoslavia. In July 1995, thousands seeking shelter in what was supposed to be a UN refuge in Srebrenica were shot dead. It was Europe's worst atrocity since World War Two.
 In the run-up to the anniversary, Serbian authorities banned commemorations in the capital Belgrade after right-wing groups threatened disruption. Activists had planned to mourn the victims outside the Serb parliament but police responded to plans for counter-demonstrations by banning all gatherings at parliament on Saturday. Serbia's Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said he had taken the decision to guarantee "peace and security in the whole of Serbia". The initiator of the planned Belgrade commemoration, Dusan Masic, said it was "scandalous", and showed "where Serbia is in 2015". Fourteen individuals have been convicted at a UN tribunal in The Hague in relation to the Srebrenica killings. The former Bosnian Serb army chief, Ratko Mladic, and former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic are both on trial at The Hague in separate processes. They are both accused of crimes relating to the massacre.
