At the Potocari Memorial Center, 30 victims of the Srebrenica genocide were buried on Tuesday. In the morning, their families paid their final respects.
These are partial remains found in several graves that members of the Republika Srpska Army continuously excavated and relocated to cover up the traces of the crime.
Among them are four minors aged 15 and 16.
After this year’s funeral ceremony, the number of genocide victims buried at the Potocari Memorial Center will be 6,752.
So far, more than 50 individuals have been sentenced to a total of over 700 years in prison for genocide and crimes in Srebrenica.
In the entity of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 11 July has been declared a day of mourning.
At the state level, there was no agreement reached on declaring this day a day of mourning because the ministers from the Republika Srpska entity were against it during the session of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On the day of mourning, cultural and entertainment programs cannot be held in public places in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Media outlets in the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are required to harmonize and adapt their programming content to the day of mourning.
