SARAJEVO, Bosnia – Foreign dignitaries are starting to arrive in Bosnia to mark the 20th anniversary of Europe’s worst massacre since World War II and attend the funeral of its 136 newly found victims.
Foreign Affairs chief Federica Mogherini is arriving Friday to represent the European Union at Saturday’s commemorations while Bill Clinton will be heading the U.S. delegation, which includes former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and congressmen and senators.
Jordan’s Queen Noor, Britain’s Princess Ann as well as several EU foreign ministers will be joining the expected 50,000 people who will mourn the 8,000 Muslim men and boys killed in July 1995 after Serb troops overran the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, which was declared a safe haven for civilians by the United Nations at the time of the massacre.
