several buildings pockmarked with bullets and shells serve as a reminder of the bitter fighting between serbs and muslims. even though there were many serbian villages around. the town has a predominantly muslim population. but was later called a massacre took place here in one nine hundred ninety five the cooling to different sources anywhere between two thousand and eight thousand people were either killed or went missing. the main blame for the killings is on route co-manage. three thousand are used all three of my sons and so i lost my husband. what can i say about it just look around at all these people who are guilty of anything there they were. back in one thousand nine hundred three. was a muslim enclave on the territory of

a self declared entity called republika srpska. trowbridge so was surrounded by him not to choose troops but muslim troops led by now so although each were in control of the situation inside the town. january the seventh is christmas for the orthodox church on that day in one thousand nine hundred three storage his troops launched a massive attack on nearby serbian villages. the village of cravats is fifteen kilometers from. cristo story on of each a serb has lived here with his family since his birth. on january the seventh one thousand nine hundred three he was on the front line in the afternoon he and fellow soldiers were told that the muslims had captured cravats after attacking it from. the serbs were ordered to retreat. so then this it i could be in there to cry it's

only after troops liberated the village seventy two days after there was a very strange of burnt flash in the village i found the body of my father and a hundred meters from the house. had been stabbed in the gut. had backed out his face. this footage filmed by police shows serbs massacred in villages around. various estimates put the number of serbian villages ruined by nassau riches troops during the war more than one hundred. the names of three thousand two hundred sixty two casualties have now been established. post-mortem reports make it clear the most of the people were tortured the four they were killed. service minister for public health zoran stankovic worked at the institute for forensic studies during the war

he witnessed the inquest into the deaths of the serbs and examinations for mass graves in bosnia. we saw the bodies of captives military men with their heads chopped off one served for example had been hit on the head with a blunt object and his eyes had been cut out moreover it was clear that his eyes were removed when he was still alive. many of the bodies bore signs of a very cruel method of murder we informed the hague tribunal about it and supplied it with all of a level records vested in fifty. one of the most popular theories concerning the seizure of trippin except i'm not it's his troops is that it was an act of revenge against muslims. nine hundred ninety three un resolution called on peacekeeping forces to disarm the combat formations that entrenched themselves and strengthen it so the muslim enclave was declared a demilitarized zone. a dutch battalion of blue berets was dispatched to monitor

the cease fire. well most of those not unionise here instead of disarming the muslim formations as they had committed themselves to under the agreement on srebrenica signed by mean and general more your united nations forces turned those safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases from where the villages and towns were attacked it's a chip of the starting from nine hundred ninety three we haven't taken a single action against threatening despite watching how the muslims saw it was being honest but sometimes they even used helicopters to airlift weapons from iraq . to serve ami waited for the disarmament of nasa all riches troops for nearly two years before wrath come luggage decided to storm strip in the summer of one thousand nine hundred five. serbian troops captured the city on july the eleventh. according to another theory the government of bosnia and herzegovina

simply gave strober needs or away to the serbs. passion of this thursday when he was last in one hundred ninety three myself and other public figures from srebrenica and met with me as president i liaise a bag of it in sarajevo so screw this is what he said to us if the serbs into trouble and something like five thousand muslims died that would create a good excuse for an a to invasion nato forces would then stop bombarding serbian units. of. thousands of dead bodies on both sides. mothers without children wives without husbands. distrust and hatred between those who wants neighbors. that is the outcome of the standoff. or thighs or pink we said crimes were committed by both sides most of the muslims

were shot and killed the most people are coming. tests shows that they were killed from a distance may mean that some of them died in battle most of the crimes against serbs were not perpetrated before. they were simply murdered in cold blood or their heads or chopped off. with. the hague tribunal gave the commander of the group of muslim troops. two years in prison after a second trial he was acquitted and orange. in two thousand and eight he was arrested by bosnian police for extortion and unlawful possession of. today the former commander feels comfortable in his home in the bosnian town of. the people in my country. feel very bitter about the rulings of the hague tribunal simply because there reflect double standards the pertinent question is whether the expertise of the

tribunals. there also questions about the professionalism of those who believe the girls are the accused. although radko not it was already on the wanted list up until two thousand and thirty two no special precautions to go into hiding . his government had not even stripped him of his bodyguards. in the ninety's rudham let it slip in belgrade from the house where his son now has an office for his small firm. from two thousand on woods serbian police began regular round ups and searches in the homes of not it to his closest relatives it is still unclear where the general was at that time. i don't think i need to talk about my father's life even today it is the subject of too much speculation i will

not say when i saw him last before his arrest i can only say that we stayed here together during the one thousand nine hundred ninety bombardment of belgrade i didn't see my father after his arrest but i am not allowed to talk with the media about anything relating to the hague tribunal that us from the part. of the syrian population was angered by his arrest there were actions in support of the many cities and. demonstrators demanded to resign because they felt it was betraying the nation's heroes. in belgrade one such protest resulted in a clash with the police. this is a poster from a demonstration we held several years ago calling from a lot it's to be handed over to the hague tribunal and reads our years are not for wasting to the hague. activists from the serbian.

people who committed crimes in the former yugoslavia to be handed over to the hague tribunal this petition campaign is just one example of the frequent activities on the streets of belgrade to support the movement. these young people make no distinction between muslims and criminals they feel tensions in the balkans died down once all those wanted by the hague tribunal brought to justice. country in the territory of the former yugoslavia has its own version of history each of them has its own. heroes and criminals if you think this is a very bad situation it is a breeding ground for future conflict. with. the serbian government has now handed over all the names serbs wanted by the hague tribunal in the proceedings in the quran how judge the last suspect on the wanted list was

captured on july the twentieth two thousand and eleven with the european union want serbia to me quite a few conditionals before it can become an e.u. member but so far we have been unable to comply with all of them so the arrest of carriage and how to church has paved the way for talks of possible entry into the a year. serbian society is split over the prospect of merging with great to europe more than half of serbs polled distrust the new. well rather than courage a true still in hiding from the police the phrase rather than courage it street was written on the house ways lived. and after the rest of ratko adage a growing number of images of him might be seen clearing on the streets of belgrade.
