How to get to Srebrenica - if it still exists (12 images)

The deafening sound of a brass band echoes along the edge of the country road that leads towards the Bosnian border. I can’t resist the temptation: I brake and get out of my car to take in this folk flavour of Serbia

Srebrenica will be in headlines also in future and this will give a more comprehensive picture of events than showed in (western) mainstream media earlier. During Karadzic trial we probably can have more information e.g. about following aspects: * Political motives: the idea of a “Srebrenica massacre” was planned at a September 1993 meeting in Sarajevo between Bosnian Muslim president Alija Izetbegovic and members of his Muslim party from Srebrenica; in order to encourage NATO intervention. USA indicated that 8.000 bodies is enough for intervention. * The pre-Srebrenica events: a long history of atrocious Bosnian Muslim violence perpetrated against Bosnian Serbs. The most cruel crimes were committed by the 3rd Corps 7th Muslim Mountain Brigade, to which were subordinated foreign Muslim fighters, also known as mujahedeen, who came from Islamic countries through Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network. * PR game behind exaggerated death numbers, misrepresentation of early reports and manipulated pictures. More information e.g. about number game around Srebrenica one may find also from my article " Srebrenica again - hoax or massacre" - http://arirusila.wordpress.com/2009/07/19/srebrenica-again-hoax-or-massacre/
