Bosnia's unfinished business
Share
Bosnians commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre this weekend. In some respects the issue remains locked in an uneasy stalemate - the main suspects have not been convicted, and people still living in the village tolerate each other out of necessity.
Today, all Bosnian Muslims who live here lost relatives in the massacre. They find it hard to live together with Bosnian Serbs, many of whom were involved in the killings.
The town's only hotel owner told Euranet about getting a ticket from a police officer. "Later on I found out that that man slaughtered a full house of people," he says. "He's a police officer, he's supposed to protect me. [..] We're living in a very, very sick system."
The fall of the Srebrenica enclave was the most dramatic episode in the war that followed the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1990.
Nearly 8,000 Muslims were murdered in 1995 when Bosnian Serb troops took over the protected UN enclave in what is seen as the biggest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust.
Radovan Karadžić, first president of the Republica Srpska from 1992 to 1996, is currently on trial for his involvement in the massacre, while Ratko Mladic, commander in chief, is still at large.
As even the chief suspects have not yet officially been brought to book, the people in Srebrenica cannot say that justice has prevailed. While perpetrators and victims still walk through the same two main streets, tensions remain close to the surface.
