Apart from the commemorative walk, also an exhibition of photos on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the tragedy in Srebrenica was staged in Rijeka.
In Split, participants in the walk threw 25 roses into the sea.
A few days ago, the multimedia exhibition titled "Srebrenica: Genocide in Eight Acts" opened in Pula's SENSE Centre for Transitional Justice on Tuesday, marking the start of a big regional campaign called "Srebrenica 25: Together Against the Denial Virus." The campaign was launched and the exhibition opened in a video message by Judge Carmel Agius, president of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, the successor to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and its chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz.
Materials shown during the campaign are part of SENSE's rich archive which contains around 2,000 reports from ICTY trials related to the Srebrenica atrocity as well as 550 videos dedicated to Srebrenica, which describe in detail how the ICTY investigated, reconstructed and prosecuted crimes committed there in 1995.
The Srebrenica genocide is considered to be the biggest atrocity committed in Europe since World War II.
The UN's former International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has to date convicted 47 people sentencing them to more than 700 years on aggregate for participating, planning and committing that war crime. Bosnian Serb political and military leaders Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic and his associates Zdravko Tolimir and Vladimir Beara each received life sentences.
