Mourners attend the funeral of seven victims of the 1995 genocide during a burial ceremony at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on July 11, 2025.

The victims were among those killed by Serb forces during the Srebrenica massacre.

In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces attacked the UN-declared safe area of Srebrenica, killing more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys despite the presence of Dutch peacekeepers.

The forces led by Gen. Ratko Mladic, who was later sentenced to life for war crimes and genocide, overran the area on July 11, executing around 2,000 men and boys that day and thousands more in the following days as they fled into nearby forests.

The bodies of victims have been found in 570 mass graves across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
