Thousands lined the streets of Sarajevo on Monday to pay tribute to the remains of 520 victims of the Srebrenica massacre who will be buried on the 17th anniversary of the killings.
Three trucks loaded with 520 coffins passed through the Bosnian capital on their way to the Potocari cemetery near Srebrenica where they will be buried on Wednesday, anniversary of the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim males by Bosnian Serb forces.
"Our children are returning to where they left from in 1995. Unfortunately, they are not alive," Munira Subasic said as she watched the vehicles. She heads an organization of women of Srebrenica whose husbands and sons were killed.
