Bosnia: Srebrenica massacre list compiled

The Bosnian Serb government has drawn up a list of 19,473 Serb soldiers who operated in the region of Srebrenica at the time of the massacre there in 1995.

The secret list, compiled since 2003, includes almost 900 people still thought to be working for the Bosnian Serb government, army or police.

It will be forwarded to the state prosecutor’s office for review.

More than 7,000 Muslim men and boys died when Bosnian Serb troops overran the UN-protected enclave in 1995.

The disclosure is part of an ongoing process instigated by the international community to force the Bosnian Serb government to acknowledge and account for the war crimes committed at Srebrenica.

The massacre in eastern Bosnia is considered the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II.
