30 Years Since the Genocide in Srebrenica

As the world has once again descended into war and instability the likes of which we have not witnessed since the end of World War II, the Genocide in Srebrenica stands as a stark, recent, and nearby example of the ruinous consequences of unleashed nationalist impulses combined with the inaction of the international community. This dossier was compiled from our existing work on the topic, as well as new articles, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the genocide. It illustrates the continuing denial of culpability that has been promulgated as state policy in Serbia, as well as the impunity of those who were directly responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

How to Save a General

Milenko Živanović was acquitted on July 1, 2025, before the Higher Court in Belgrade on all counts of the indictment that charged him with ordering the forcible displacement of civilian population from the zone of responsibility of the Drina Corps, as well as with participating, through his orders and actions, in the forcible displacement of civilians from the protected zone of Srebrenica. The general's defense team included his chosen lawyer, the public prosecutor, and the judicial panel.

Srebrenica for Beginners

Peščanik.net

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, Peščanik has compiled selected materials from shows in which it marked those terrible days in June 1995. Polls conducted in Serbia repreatedly confirm a national consensus that there was no genocide in Srebrenica. This is a view also shared by many young people leading the fight against the regime. Some of them have no views on the issue — they don't know who to trust. Our recommendation is to trust your eyes and ears.

Resolution on the Genocide in Srebrenica: a new boiling point for chauvinism in Serbia

The resolution on the Srebrenica genocide would have found its way onto the agenda no matter how Serbia behaved. It is also possible that some hypothetical Serbia with more dignity, one that has taken responsibility for victims, the past, and the future, would have agreed with the resolution.

Srebrenica genocid: 25 godina negiranja

Fondacija Heinrich Böll povodom 25. godišnjice genocida objavila je međunarodno čitanje koje se shvata kao glas protiv matrica zaborava, poricanja i trivijalizacije, kao čin otpora u ime svih žrtava i članova porodica čiji su glasovi sve tiši, jer ih nadglasava nacionalistički, revizionistički kanon.
