Srebrenica Day Trip

We'll meet at Zelenih Beretki 30 at 8 am and board a bus to Srebrenica, a town known for its great tragedy. During the two-and-a-half-hour trip, we'll pass through Vlasenica, Milici, and Bratunac, towns that suffered throughout both the Second World War and the Bosnian War.

On arrival in Srebrenica, a village between mountains, we'll learn about one of the bloodiest massacres in European history after the Second World War, where over 8000 ethnic Bosnian Muslims were killed in June 1995 during the Srebrenica Genocide.

We'll visit the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Poto?ari, which honors the victims and was inaugurated in September 2003 by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. As we tour the area, we'll discuss significant moments during the massacre, including the UN's ineffective role, the orders from Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladi?, and the genocide's international consequences. You will also have the opportunity to meet a Srebrenica survivor.

We will see the UN base Dutchbat and the Genocide Museum in Srebrenica, followed by two hours of free time for lunch. Before returning to Sarajevo, we'll discuss the health benefits of Srebrenica's water. The tour will conclude by returning to the starting point at 4 pm.
