Belgrade remembers Srebrenica - 11 years on...
The day the Art and Activism Caravan arrived a memorial vigil took place in the centre of Belgrade to commemorate the victims of the Srebrenica genocide in 1995. People held banners and placards saying 'never again' and 'remember Srebrenica'. Last year the same vigil was attacked by nationalist groups, some of who trew teargas in the crowd. The police guarded the protest heavily this time.
The Srebrenica massacre was the July 1995 killing of up to an estimated 8106 Bosnian men, ranging in age from teenagers to the elderly, in the region of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina by a Serb Army including Serbian state special forces ("Scorpions"). The Srebrenica massacre was the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II.
