136 victims found a final resting place

On Saturday, tens of thousands came to mark the 20th anniversary of Europe's worst genocide since World War II, the slaughter of 8,000 Muslims from the eastern Bosnian town Srebrenica. 

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and other world dignitaries, including Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Britain's Princess Anne and Jordan's Queen Noor, attended at the commemoration ceremonies and laid flowers at the memorial.

Serb PM Aleksandar Vučić, once an ultra-nationalist, came to represent his country, at the commemoration in an apparent gesture of reconciliation. 

Munira Subašić whose husband and son were among those killed, welcomed Mr Vučić at the ceremony. After she pinned a white and green crochet flower of remembrance on his lapel, Mr Vučić signed a book of condolences.

Hamida Džanović, who had come to bury the only two bones found of her husband, said: “Look at him, and look at those thousands of tombstones. Is he not ashamed to say that this was not genocide? Is he not ashamed to come here?” She remembers the last time she saw her husband: “I remember him returning twice to kiss our children, like he knew we would never see each other again.”

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić, a former ultra-nationalist, was booed and pelted with objects during the commemoration of the genocide. The Muslim Bosniak mayor of Srebrenica, Ćamil Duraković, said he was deeply disappointed and he truly apologizes to Prime Minister Vučić for what he had experienced.

Freshly dug graves gaped at passersby, waiting for newly-found bodies to fill them as part of the commemoration. In coffins wrapped in smooth, green cloth 136 victims found a final resting place today, two decades after their killing.
