As the anniversary of the July 1995 massacres by Bosnian Serb forces was marked at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre, international officials condemned denial of the genocide and the continued glorification of war criminals.
The government offered payments to soldiers from the Dutch UN battalion that failed to prevent the massacres of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in 1995, in recognition of the “exceptional circumstances” in which they had to serve.
Denis Dzidic, director of the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network Bosnia and Herzegovina, was given a Nino Catic Journalism Award on Friday for long-term reporting about the Srebrenica genocide and for contributing to preserving the truth about the July 1995 mass killings.
