Institute for Islamic Tradition of Bosniaks (IITB) organized an international conference entitled “Genocide in Srebrenica: Towards a Long-Lasting Memory” which was held on 12 and 13 May 2015 at the Gazi Husrev-bey Library in Sarajevo.

The 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide will be marked on 11 July 2015. The Srebrenica genocide is the worst massacre that occurred on European soil since the Holocaust. At least 8,372 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys were systematically executed by Bosnian Serb Army and Police. The genocide in 1995 was preceded by massacres and „ethnic cleansing“ throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina since the start of the war in 1992.
