The February 5, 1994 attack on the Markale market was a senseless act of violence against civilians and a war crime committed by VRS forces laying siege to the city of Sarajevo, it is stated in the reaction from the embassy of the United States in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“The facts of the Markale attack are well established and immutable,” stated the embassy on its Twitter profile.
The embassy states that lies and misinformation about this war crime or others that occurred during the 1992-1995 war re-traumatize victims and their families and undermine reconciliation and mutual understanding.
