Dignity, silence, and emotions: Participants of the Peace March arrive in Potocari

On July 8, they set off from Nezuk, near Tuzla, on a journey more than one hundred kilometers long toward Srebrenica, to honor the victims of the genocide committed in 1995 in the United Nations (UN) protected zone.

For three days, they walked along the same paths that the people of Srebrenica took in July 1995, trying to break through to free territory in Tuzla or Kladanj.

The participants of the “Peace March” will attend the commemoration and collective funeral at the cemetery of the Srebrenica Memorial Center in Potocari on Friday.

The “Peace March” has been held since 2005, and the number of participants increases every year.

The aim of the event is to build, promote, and preserve the culture of remembrance of the genocide committed against Bosniaks in Srebrenica.

This year, the remains of another seven victims will be buried at the Memorial Center. So far, 6,765 victims of the Srebrenica genocide have been buried there.
