Bosnian War

During the Bosnian War (1992‒95), the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina fought Serbia and Croatia, which were then part of Yugoslavia. The United Nations sought to protect Bosnia and created safe zones.

Srebrenica massacre

The Srebrenica massacre happened in July 1995 when the Serbs invaded the Bosnian town of Srebrenica. They raped women, and forced men and boys into the forests. The men were hunted down by the Serbs.


Denial

Serbia

In Serbia, many people have said that the Bosnian genocide was not real. However, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) confirmed that the Bosnian genocide was real.
