Commemoration of the 34th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of Serbs in the Villages around Srebrenica and Bratunac

In Zalazje near Srebrenica today is the anniversary of the martyrdom of 69 Serbs, civilians and soldiers, who were killed by members of the RBiH Army on St. Peter’s Day in 1992.

On that occasion, 22 people also disappeared. 10 of them were found and exhumed on June 10, 2011, from a mass grave in Zalazje, during the search for Bosniak victims above the village of Vidikovac, on the outskirts of Srebrenica. The remains were identified and buried more than a year later in 2012, while two were exhumed, identified and buried earlier. Ten missing persons have not yet been found.

In November 2018, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina legally acquitted Naser Orić, the former commander of the RBiH Army, and Sabahudin Muhić, of the charges that they killed three prisoners of Serbian nationality in the towns of Zalazje, Lolići and Kunjerac in 1992.

Orić was previously, in 2008, legally acquitted before the Hague Tribunal, which charged him with crimes against Serbs near Srebrenica committed from 1992-1993.
