Serbian PM forced to flee Srebrenica ceremony after coming under hail of stones

A stone-throwing crowd has chased Serbia’s Prime Minister away from a ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. As Aleksandar Vucic and his delegation entered the cemetery to lay flowers, thousands booed and whistled. A group of women from the capital Belgrade, who have been campaigning for Serbia to admit its role in the slaughter, yelled “responsibility!” and “genocide!" About 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys died at the hands of Bosnian Serb forces amid the break-up of Yugoslavia.

For every killed Serb, we will kill 100 Bosniaks.

Banners quoting Serb Prime Minister Aleksander Vucic

Someone threw a shoe, while others threw water bottles and other objects before the crowd eventually chased Mr Vucic away. A few people carried banners with a wartime quote by him: "For every killed Serb, we will kill 100 Bosniaks." The United Nations declared Srebrenica a safe haven for civilians, but on 11 July, 1995, Serb troops overran the Muslim enclave. Some 15,000 men tried to flee through the woods toward government-held territory while others joined the town’s women and children in seeking refuge at the base of the Dutch UN troops. The outnumbered Dutch could only watch as Serb soldiers rounded up about 2,000 men for killing and later hunted down and killed another 6,000 men in the woods.

I never want to see another killing field like this.
