(10 Jul 2015) Fresh graves have been dug for 136 newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
Their remains will be buried at a memorial cemetery in Potocari, outside Srebrenica on Saturday, the 20th anniversary of the start of the slaughter.
Over 50,000 people, including diplomats from at least 40 countries, are expected to attend the funeral and take part in the commemoration of the anniversary of the massacre - the only atrocity in Europe since World War II to be labelled a genocide by the United Nations courts.
Over 8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys were killed when Bosnian Serb forces overran the UN-protected enclave of Srebrenica in July 1995, in a bloody climax to Bosnia's three-and-a-half year long war that claimed 100,000 lives.
So far close to 7,000 victims have been found and identified and forensic teams continue their work to locate and identify the remaining victims.
