Speaker 1: While bosni Andrzegovina is slowly returning to being a united country,
Speaker 1: the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia is working
Speaker 1: hard to bring to trial those suspectives of war crimes
Speaker 1: and human rights violations. However, it is coming to light
Speaker 1: in an increasingly disturbing manner, a story that ratkom Laddis's
Speaker 1: Bosnian Serbs have tried to bury for months. Literally since
Speaker 1: July nineteen ninety five, the bodies of over eight thousand
Speaker 1: Bosniak men and boys abducted from Srebrenitza have never been found.
Speaker 1: Eye witnesses confirmed that Ladis himself supervised the killings following
Speaker 1: the capture of the city. This is the Yugoslav Wars,
Speaker 1: a podcast produced by Barbaikas every month, like thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: I Am Federico Baccini, Let's begin. A United Nations team
Speaker 1: task with investigating war crimes is looking into the matter.
Speaker 1: On second April, the experts arrived at the US early
Speaker 1: days near Srebrenicza, not far from the former unp Skeeper's
Speaker 1: headquarters in Potucchari. The investigators uncover evidence of extensive tampering
Speaker 1: with the ground suspicions begin to arise that thousands of
Speaker 1: Bosniaks may have been killed, buried and their bodies subsequently
Speaker 1: exhumed and scattered across other areas so as not to
Speaker 1: leave obvious traces of a heinous war crime. After the
Speaker 1: end of the war, and might all this have happened.
Speaker 1: NATO provides an initial indication area reconnaissance pictures shows that
Speaker 1: no tampering with the ground has taken place since January,
Speaker 1: that is when its experts have begun monitoring around two
Speaker 1: hundred sides that could be mass graves. If something of
Speaker 1: this nature did occur, it must have been the responsibility
Speaker 1: of the Bosnian Serb forces, either before or immediately after
Speaker 1: the signing of the Dayton Agreement. Meanwhile, the reconstruction of
Speaker 1: bosn Drzegovina begins. On twelve and thirteenth April, representatives from
Speaker 1: fifty five countries around the world gathering Brassels for an
Speaker 1: Internation Donors Conference. More than one billion dollars in economic
Speaker 1: aid is raised to repair water and switch networks, roads,
Speaker 1: bridges and homes, as well to help loans small businesses.
Speaker 1: The conference also reflects the strain on the peace process,
Speaker 1: even months after the signing, the Bosnian Serbs, now an
Speaker 1: integral part of a united Bosnia, refuse to participate as
Speaker 1: part of a single delegation alongside Bosniaks and Bosian crowds. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Europeans and Americans argue over whether to allocate the funds
Speaker 1: to everyone, including the Bosnian Serb leadership, which has so
Speaker 1: to prevent peace until the very last moment.
