SREBRENICA, Bosnia (Reuters) -Thousands of Bosnians gathered at a cemetery near Srebrenica on Friday to mark the 30th anniversary of a massacre in which more than 8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys were executed by Bosnian Serb forces during a 1992-5 war.

During the Srebrenica genocide, 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed. It's remembered as the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.

Hundreds of Bosnians and local community members gathered at Mohawk Valley Community College on Friday to take part in the fifth annual Srebrenica Remembrance Walk, honoring the victims of the 1995 genocide and marking 30 years since one of the deadliest atrocities in modern European history.

The Srebrenica massacre remains the most notorious war crime committed in Europe since World War Two. Bosnian-Serb forces overran Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia, where thousands of Bosniaks, who are mostly Muslim, had taken refuge, believing they were safely under the protection of the United Nations.

The town was supposed to be a “safe area,” protected by U.N. peacekeepers, but Serb forces massacred 8,000 Muslim men and boys there.
