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.
