Thousands of people from Bosnia and around the world have converged on Srebrenica to mark the 30th anniversary of the horrific 1995 massacre, an event call Europe's only official genocide since the Holocaust. Over 8,000 Bosniak Muslim boys and men were systematically murdered in the atrocity, which continues to cast a long shadow over the region.
This solemn occasion will see seven newly identified victims, including two 19-year-old men, laid to rest in a collective funeral on Friday. They will join over 6,000 victims already interred at the vast, ever-expanding cemetery near Srebrenica. Such burials are an annual occurrence, as remains continue to be unearthed from dozens of mass graves scattered around the town.
