Thousands of Bosnian Serbs rallied this week in protest of a draft U.N. resolution commemorating the 1995 genocide in Srebrenica in which more than 8,000 people were executed.
BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Thousands of Bosnian Serbs rallied on Thursday denying that genocide was committed in Srebrenica in 1995 despite rulings to the contrary by two United Nations courts. More than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were executed by Bosnian Serb troops in the eastern Bosnian enclave in July 1995. The victims' remains were dumped in mass graves and later reburied to hide evidence of atrocities.
In his speech, Dodik said he hoped a potential victory at the upcoming U.S. election by former President Donald Trump would create 'different conditions in which we will play.' He did not elaborate. Dodik ended his speech by exclaiming 'Long live Russia!' Bosnia remains ethnically divided and politically tense long after the end of the 1992-95 war.
