The British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the Government has provided an additional 1.7 million Euros so that the events of July 11th 1995 would not be forgotten. These funds will be paid to the account of the British Association “Remembering Srebrenica”.
Thanks to these funds, the British children will come for education in B&H where they will, among other things, learn about the genocide.
