Bosnian War

Holding sheets with the names of their loved ones and banners with their pictures, every month for the last 25 years, no matter the weather, these women have sent clear messages. 

Ever since, politicians in Croatia and Serbia have commemorated different parts of those events - the parts that suit them, ignoring the arguments and victims from the other side.

Six streets in the southwest Bosnian city of Mostar named after people linked to the fascist Independent State of Croatia, NDH, in World War II, are to get new names.

Ten days after her term in office began, one of the first tasks undertaken by Graciela Gatti Santana, the new president of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, was to deliver a speech at the commemoration of the 27th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide.

Women in Black said that an unknown man posing as a postal worker entered the building where the peace group's office is located in Belgrade on Tuesday and poured red paint on the entrance door and on the staircase.

The trial in the case against seven former Bosnian Serb special policemen accused of involvement in the killing of some 1,300 Bosniaks from Srebrenica in an agricultural warehouse in the Bosnian village of Kravica in July 1995 was postponed again at Belgrade Higher Court on Tuesday.

Mourners gathered at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre on Monday to commemorate the 27th anniversary of the July 1995 genocide and attend the burial of 50 more victims of the mass killings of more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys.

The Prosecution wrote that, between 2004 and 2022, it registered a total of 814 cases referred by the Prosecution of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY.

In August 1995, German photographer Phillip von Recklinghausen returned to Srebrenica, where he had photographed people during the siege of the enclave by Bosnian Serb forces a couple of years earlier.

He tried to find people whose pictures he had taken back in 1993, but couldn't.

The court decision comes after Petkovic, who is now in Serbia, was due to enter his plea on June 16, but failed to appear in court. The State Court said that he had also failed to attend an earlier hearing on March 10 this year.
