Serbs only recently began to recognize this orchestrated massacre, one that triggered the US-led end to the 1992-95 Bosnia war. It's taken a long time for Serbs to break through their nationalist fervor built up by deposed strongman Slobodan Milosevic. While many Serbs were also victims in the war, the slaughter at the Bosnian town of Srebrenica was in a league by itself as a war crime.

Not much else in the papers today...what did I tell you?

After yesterday’s ten-year commemoration for the Muslim victims of Srebrenica, tribute will be paid today to Serbian civilians who lost their lives in Bratunac. The ceremony took place at a military cemetery and a church service was given for Serbs who lost their lives in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the regions of Srebrenica, Bratunac and Milic. The service was attended by political leaders from the Republic of Srpska, Serbian officials from the Bosnia-Herzegovina government, a delegation from Serbia, and several thousands onlookers. There were no international officials present even though invitations were sent out to all embassies in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
