Association of Citizens “Svjedoci svog vremena” (Witnesses of their time) which organizes the Srebrenica Peace March “Sarajevo-Nezuk-Potocari 2018” will begin the march from Sarajevo to Potocari, eastern Bosnia, on July 3.

This year’s march will be attended by 38 Bosnian citizens from across the country who will walk 280 kilometres to Potocari.

“We hope to contribute on strengthening of the feelings of unity, belonging, responsibility and connection and to pay tribute to the dead with this march. We hope to contribute to preserving the memory of the events in Srebrenica and Potocari and never to allow genocide to take place again,” the organizer said.  

The UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) ruled in 2004 that the massacre of the Srebrenica, the enclave which was declared the UN's safe zone in 1993, constituted a genocide. The ruling was upheld by the International Court of Justice in 2007.
