In Bosnia-Herzegovina, Muslims have gathered to remember the 1995 massacre. 25 years ago, Bosnian Serb forces occupied Srebrenica. In a few days, 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in a small eastern town.

The UN has declared today as an official day of remembrance.

The events of Srebrenica are characterized as the largest single massacre since World War II.

Some of the relatives are still looking for the remains of the victims and finding out the fate of the deceased.
