🇪🇺 Roberta Metsola: Commemorating 28th Anniversary of Srebrenica Massacre 🇪🇺

Roberta METSOLA, EP President gives a statement on Commemorating Srebrenica 28 years anniversary. Srebrenica massacre represents the slaying of more than 7,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) boys and men, perpetrated by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica, a town in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in July 1995. In addition to the killings, more than 20,000 civilians were expelled from the area—a process known as ethnic cleansing. The massacre, which was the worst episode of mass murder within Europe since World War II, helped galvanize the West to press for a cease-fire that ended three years of warfare on Bosnia’s territory.
