Hundreds of people lined the streets of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Saturday to bid farewell to the recently identified remains of more than 120 people murdered in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
The bodies of the 127 victims began their final journey from the central Bosnian city of Visoko on Saturday morning on a truck covered with a large national flag and laden with flowers.
As the cortege passed through Sarajevo, many onlookers could be seen openly crying. People showered the truck with flowers and prayed for the victims.
The remains were then slowly taken to the nearby village of Potocari, just northwest of Srebrenica town, where the victims will be buried on Monday, which marks the 21st anniversary of the murders.

About 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed after the Bosnian Serb army attacked the UN 'safe area' of Srebrenica in July 1995, despite the presence of Dutch troops tasked with acting as UN peacekeepers.
The youngest victim among the 127 dead has been identified as Avdija (Emin) Memic who was 14 when he was killed. Memic will be buried along with his uncle Abdulrahman and his young cousin Halil, who was 16 when he died.
Every year, the remains of more than a hundred victims are identified and buried in Potocari village on the anniversary of the genocide.
However, hundreds of Bosniak families are still searching for missing people as a large number of victims were thrown into mass graves around the country during the Bosnian War.
Around 8,400 people remain missing after the war, according to the Institute for Missing Persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

21 Years After Srebrenica Genocide
The Full Story:
"Here we are, on July 11, 1995, in Serbian Srebrenica, just before a great Serb holy day, we give this town to the Serb Nation. Remembering the uprising against the Turks, the time has come to take revenge on the Muslims."
Those were the words the Commander of Bosnian Serb militias, General Ratko Mladic said in front of a TV camera 21 years ago.
Hours later, after a three-year-long siege, his army entered Srebrenica, a town mostly populated by Muslim Bosniaks.
In the following days, his soldiers committed the worst massacre in Europe since the Nazi era.
They killed 8,372 unarmed Bosnian men and boys and buried their bodies in the forest around the village of Potocari near Srebrenica.
It was the worst atrocity committed by Bosnian Serb forces during the Bosnian War that started in 1992 and ended with the Dayton Agreement in 1995.

On the 21th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide, remains of the deceased are still sprouting off the ground. Mass graves are discovered almost every month.
Many of the exhumed bodies had been mutilated beyond recognition.
Officials have to put the remains into DNA tests to determine their identity. When remains of a corpse is identified, relatives are informed. Sometimes, one part of a victim's body is dug up tens of kilometres away from where the rest of it had been found.
Still, the relatives are pleased to recover the remains.
Every year in July, Bosnians come together to remember their sufferings.
They walk the same route of their elders, from Tuzla to Srebrenica, -a 150-km journey- to better understand the plight of persecution.
It's called "March of Peace." On July 11, crowds gather at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial outside the Potocari village.
The funeral ceremonies of all victims are held and the remains are buried.
This way, families have a place where they can pray for their loved ones.
you found a nice source, for first time, everything is true just see yourself :D i did mensa as 16yrs old, so its 4 years ago i rly didnt think that there will be some jealous souls like you to make me think exactly
Aj prestani srat lažljivi majmune, do prije 5 minuta si mislio da je mensa prostorija gdje studenti jedu ručkove i večere
lol, that's croat, if it makes you feel better, then believe in your sentence
Daj samo začepi tu lažljivu labrnju, konstantno ispadaš glup ko tri izdrkana kurca sa svojim fix teorijama sročenim kroz taj tvoj engleski jezik na razini djeteta iz vrtića.
Pišem ti hrvatskim, jer engleski shvaćaš samo iz konteksta. Prestani se blamirat i dokazivat na krive načine, nikoga ne zanimaš, nebitan si upravo zbog svoje gluposti i sinonim si za sprdnju na ovoj igri.
Imaš titulu najglupljeg, na tebi je da se povučeš i budeš glup samo za sebe ili da nastaviš javno dokazivati kako samo svemir i tvoja glupost nemaju granicu.
The reason of such situation in the world is fall of communism, national unity and central government. Side effect of that was rise of ultranationalism, followed with appearance of radical religious beliefs. Why nobody did something such in the time of communist rule? Because religion was banned. Most developed nations worldwide and most developed USA states too are predominantly atheist and secular. People are born with low IQ and it increases over the time. Religion is made to stop the IQ to increase or in other terms, to keep people dumb, obviously.
You, Hillary-ous puppet, are just one of those ultranationalists who are the reason why our region is going completely backwards. Unity is the force, without unity there's nothing.
I AM ULTRANATIONALIST BECAUSE I DON'T FORGIVE OR FORGET VICTIMS OF MY PEOPLE ?
PLS. try to say that to jew

No such thing as a good girl, you are just not the right guy.
I tried to answer on last two posts ,but I can't express myself,except with rage and insults,so I won't respond on that.
so you don't have a brain to express yourself too?
I haven't even seen your post. I was thinking about "humans" above you,aka. viruslegion and njab. Their comment tells more about them,than it will ever tell about us.
And no 7.th muslim brigade was never arround Srebrenica,while some units in Bosnian army had prefix Bosniak,or their religion signs (4.th muslim,7.th muslim,1.st ortodox christian,3.jewish, brigade,in Srebrenica there was no such units .But that didn't really matter,you killed even Rudolph,footballer from local football club.
Second,picture is from 1996. #Treći #korpus #smotra.

No such thing as a good girl, you are just not the right guy.
are you rly thinking that anything is lost in Srebrenica? Just less retards on this world
But ya, bullets weren't worth killing retards
Do you think anything is lost in Jasenovac ?
Just less retards on this world.
Serbs arent retards as bosnians are
Your comment said more about serbs (for those who can get,what is behind simple sentence) ,than probably 10 scientist ,who devoted their life researching ,in 10 books.

No such thing as a good girl, you are just not the right guy.
No other comment than to say all balkans are dumb, stop the bitching.
PS: My condolences but a massacre of few thousand isn't a genocide.
You don't get it what is genocide.
It is destroying one group of people,and or their culture,heritage,religion etc...
So if just Srebrenica,without other various war crimes in USA it would be equal to
1339520
now if it was Portugal in question it would be 43136 people
and if we count just people in Srebrenica,it would be like killing 2156807 people in Portugal.
PS. you can do genocide without shooting a bullet. IE. Removing reproductive organs from males/females of one group

Srebrenica was a great tragedy, but twisted by the West (North America & Europe). There was 3,000 Serbian casualties but Muslim as well, but not 8,000. That was a battle, a siege of the city, army didn't enter and started to kill civilians. And as Killary posted, they have Peace March where they travel the route victims died, which is 150km from the Srebrenica.
That doesn't reduce the casualties of Muslims in the war, they had 60,000-100,000 dead and atleast twice as wounded. But truth is there was no genocide or ethnic cleansing on any side. If there was - that would be the animals who swimm in Drina to escape the war and flooded Serbian forests. Many of them drowned, especially their babies.
Whole world still wonder and try to understand why West created so many lies for Yugoslav Civil War, but after 20 years we can assemble the puzzle and atleast guess. Abovementioned Dutch Peace corps were nothing more but crime ring in Bosnia during the war, working with drugs and prostitution (what else can a Dutch do.. they even legalized it). They didn't care for war, casualties, to provide help or assistance, it was clearly visible to the locals who are near them. Similar thing happened in Kosovo during the same time. British and American forces established 'clinics', then abducted locals to harvest organs and send to the West for their population, usually rich elite. The most notorious of them was 'yellow house'.
Today, after 20 years you have witnesses, prostitues(slaves) who fled Dutch led prostitution, children escaping American harvest clinics, all telling their horror stories. The thing that happened in Yugoslavia in the 90's by the West is so horrific and tragic that even Nazi Germany would be surprised... and scared. And propaganda machinery did its job covering up all that and telling totally different story, for example using barb wire 2x2m and put infront of camera to film 'death camp' while in reality it was refugee camp, then packing their gear and run away while all other camera crews stayed and filmed normally whats going on. Guess what camera crew(news outlet) people trusted the most.
Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman made a movie in 1997 about that, called 'Wag the dog'. Not even they who were in the movie industry could dream of such stories being made and then published for the whole world to see. In their movie they were ordered by the president to create fictional war so he can win next elections. They started hiring actors who would simulate running civilians, dying and crying in the war, and then actors were said they are not allowed to speak about this job, or CIA will pay them a visit. Then the videos are shown on all US news, how Albania torture their people and war is raging on, and USA have to intervene to stop the (auto?!)genocide. In the meantime Albanian government and population are banging their heads to the wall not believing whats going on and clearly seeing that situation in their country is normal with no war. Then they created a video showing Albanian girl (american actress) waiting for US president on the airport to give him wheat(?!) and ask him to stop the war and make peace.
Just like in Chechnya, there were not many Bosnian Muslim and Turkish men volunteering for the war, most of them were terrorrists and talibans from Afghanistan and Middle East, of course funded by we-know-who. They were speaking Arabic and Pashtun, while Bosnian Muslims and Turks speak Yugoslav(south slavic language), they couldn't even understand each other. And i doubt there were many local muslim population willing to make suicidal actions in the war like newly arrived terrorists.
Similar thing in Albania, Al Qaeda terrorists, Iranian Revolutionary Guard and US special forces. Not many Kosovar Albanians fought for 'Kosovo Liberation Army', most of Albanians there were imported from Albania into Kosovo (Yugoslavia) to fight. Because Kosovar Albanians hate Albanians from Albania, they consider them barbaric and stupid. Kosovar Albanians worked hard to achieve good life in Yugoslavia while Albania had different system, Albania promoted emigration while Kosovo promoted education. I spoke to one Albanian who had a gas station and caffe stop on the highway in Yugoslavia, and he said to me he don't care who will win, because if Yugoslavs win - they will take his gas station and money, and if Albanians win - they will take it as well. While his family worked hard to create good living, these people didn't had intentions to fight in war and risk their lives and jobs. Only idle, stupid and unemployed fight, remember that. He also told me that Albanians coming from Albania to fight are the worse kind of people, dragged from Albanian mountains, peasants and rogues who never saw modern life. They were recruited by America. You couldn't blame Albania, their financials were usurped (again.. by America) so there wasn't much they could do.
Situation was not different in Croatia as well. Unemployed and Nazis were recruited, old Nazis from WW2 and their followers arrived to lead them, from Australia, Germany and Argentina. Bringing guns and drugs. That army was trained by US special forces and drugged by the Nazis in their daily meals. So they can fight without questioning the cause. Americans could not been seen at first because they entered through Hungary, Austria or Italy via sea, while US in Bosnia was clearly visible because only way in was via paradrop and planes, especially in Tuzla airport which was more busy than Okinawa US base. American special forces presence in West Yugoslavia was definitely confirmed in 1995 leading Croatian(terrorist) army when they were invading Serbian Ukraine in Croatia.
This is clear indication US planned to become World Hegemon and rule the planet when USSR died. It did not tolerate opposition, bipolarism, multiparties. In that time they were fighting in Somalia, Kuwait and Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia had to be destroyed because it was strong orderly nation with good system. America does not need that, it already have strong orderly nations in their allied ranks, like France, UK, Germany, Italy, Japan. Balkan is the highway between Europe and Asia and have to be controled by America only, not some domestic, native indigenous population like Yugoslavs. America have to control all the roads and seaways on the planet, and it will use force to maintain that system. They needed balkan highway, iraqi oil and middle eastern terrorists to send to countries which oppose them.

what ?
Serb (NOT SERBIAN) civil casulties during 1991-1996 in Bosnia and Herzegovina was 4 178 civilians,that means that only 800 civlians were killed on rest of the country .
That being said,let's see how Serbs were treated,compared to Bosniaks,in Srebrenica.
serb civilians
rest are witnesses and/or footage of shooting civilians
Oh yeah "škorpioni" -scorpions were "anti-terroristic" unit of serbia.

you are calling children born in Srebrenica,animals ? wow

Russian propaganda and claiming we had more foregin fighters than our own
I'm gone for two and a half days and a new genocide *cough* misunderstanding I mean ethnic cleansing actually a slight disagreement or whatever it should be called occurs in off topic. Oh boy here comes the Serbs ready to kill us *cough* I mean silence those who disagree in this topic.

6,469 Serbs are killed in Srebrenica during WW2, 3,267 during Yugoslav Civil War. That's what it says.
But i don't know why you posted this anyway, in the game which is openly anti-muslim. I don't know what reactions you expected. Maybe West supported Muslims and Turks in Bosnia 20 years ago, but only to destroy Yugoslavia - country they lived in. Now they don't care for you, they think you are all terrorists. If you travel to West you will be harassed and won't have rights like them, no matter how hard they beat their chests about liberty, freedom and equality, they are still selfish colonists.

How did you manage to learn so much about American film while riding elk in the Urals?
Because we have Television here, probably had better quality in the Cold War than the West, because we had 100% coverage from Baltic to Pacific, while US for example didn't had in the countryside.
We also have schools and science cities, where we educate ourselves, travel to space, test rockets, chemical elements, play with nuclear power. But when we finish our daily tasks, we take vodka and shashlik and squat with gopniks around the corner.
