Sunday, 11 July was the 15th anniversary of the genocide against around 8,000 Bosnian Muslims of Srebrenica. More than 50,000 people, including many foreign delegations, gathered in Potočari, a village near Srebrenica, to commemorate all those who were murdered on 11 July 1995 by Serb forces under General Ratko Mladić. This was the worst war crime in Europe since the Shoah. In 2001 the Hague Tribunal ruled that the Srebrenica massacre was genocide.
