The International Commission on Missing Persons: The Search for Bosnia’s Missing is Key to Positive Peace

On July 11th, 2023, thousands of mourners arrived at the Srebrenica Memorial Center in Potočari to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. This ever-expanding cemetery serves as a final resting place for many of the approximately 8,000 Bosniak men and boys who were killed in the civilian massacres of 1995. Although nearly three decades have passed since the genocide, 30 victims were buried this year, the youngest of whom was a 15-year-old boy. Additionally, the year witnessed 71 re-associations, referring to the burial of newly found remains of victims who have already been identified and partially interred.

Ethno Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Modern Custodians of Tradition

Ethno villages are guardians of national traditions built in the likeness of former Bosnian-Herzegovinian villages. They take you back to Bosnia a hundred years ago and present various historical aspects of life during that time, as well as untouched natural beauty. These villages are often complemented by modern amenities. They strengthen the local economy and serve as eco and ethno-tourism potentials. There are more than 25 of these villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina, each unique in its own way, but they all share a rich gastronomic offering. Visiting them gives the impression that time has stood still.
