The 19th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre was marked in Bosnia-Herzegovina, with 175 victims that were found in mass graves buried in the town on Friday.
The newly identified bodies of Bosniak men and boys were buried next to 6,066 massacre victims, found previously.
Over 8,000 Bosniak Muslims were massacred by Serbian troops, after Dutch UN troops handed the area over to the Serbs. The commander of the troops who did the killing, Ratko Mladic, is now on trial at The Hague, facing charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Germany’s Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier released a joint statement, commemorating the massacre.
“This was an act of genocide of a scale unseen in Europe for decades, and a tragedy which should never have been allowed to occur. Today, we - the UK and Germany - renew our lasting support for those affected and commitment to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will never forget these events,” the statement said.
