Summary
Key Points: 
  • On July 11, we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, one of the darkest chapters of modern European history.
  • We honour the memory of those laid to rest and all those still missing.
  • 25 years ago Europe failed to live up to the promise that never again would there be such tragedy on our continent.
  • But for peace and reconciliation to continue, the way forward must include the recognition of suffering, mutual respect and dignity.
