"Srebrenica Remembered"


3 of 11

The killing of 8,000 Bosnian men in Srebrenica in 1995 remains an issue of great importance in the peace process in the former Yugoslav republics. It is also a key incident in the evolution of the concept of International Justice. While exhumations of mass graves of Srebrenica victims continue, a memorial was established for those victims that have and will be identified. The site was opened by Bill Clinton in Potocari near Srebrenica onSept. 20th 2003.

The old movie house in Srebrenica is abandoned, but Serb refugees live upstairs from it.

The village of Srebrenica today: mostly inhabited by Serb refugees, but with a slow increase in Muslims returning to their homes. The towns' previous industrial economy is no longer viable and will likely never be revived. The town is peppered with abandoned homes and buildings, while the huge communist-era hotel is still populated by Serb refugees that have been there since 1995.
