Serbia arrests seven over Srebrenica massacres

Serbian police arrested seven men in accused of taking part in the massacre of over 1,000 Muslim in Srebrenica, reports the BBC.

The men arrested on Wednesday are the first to be reprimanded in Serbia for their involvement in the massacres in 1995.

The massacre at Srebrenica is the only atrocity in Europe to be labelled as genocide by the United Nations.

Approximately 8.000 Bosnian men and boys were killed in Srebrenica over three days. The killings took place a few months before the end of the Bosnian war, where 20,000 refugees fled to Srebrenica to escape Serb forces.
