VARIOUS DRONE SHOTS OF MAUSOLEUMPOTOCARI, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - JULY 10, 2025: Coffins of seven victims of the 1995 genocide were carried to the Potocari Memorial Cemetery for burial on Thursday, July 10, in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Srebrenica. The remains of the victims, who were among at least 8,372 Bosniak civilians killed by Bosnian Serb forces, will be laid to rest on the 30th anniversary of the genocide. The coffins were brought out of the former battery factory—used as a base by United Nations (UN) peacekeepers during the war—and carried on the shoulders of mourners to the cemetery. Family members of the victims, along with genocide survivors, wept and offered prayers as the coffins passed by. Srebrenica genocide: Europe’s darkest chapter since WWII In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces captured the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, which had been declared a UN “safe area.” Over the course of several days, more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were systematically separated from their families, executed, and buried in mass graves in what became the worst massacre on European soil since World War II. The genocide in Srebrenica has been recognized by international and national courts, including the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which ruled that the mass killings constituted genocide. The atrocity left deep scars across Bosnia and reshaped the country’s post-war recovery and reconciliation efforts.
