Today we piled back on the bus for a trip to Srebrenica. Originally, this was a stop we would’ve made on our way to Sarajevo but our Montenegro detour means we’d missed it. So despite no one really wanted to get back on the bus, we all felt it was an important enough site to visit that it warranted the trip. So four hours there and four hours back we went. I’m going to leave my reaction out of this post, suffice to say I’m glad I saw it and it’s been an emotional day. For those who don’t know, wiki it, but the basics are that it was a UN designated Safe Area during the Bosnian War. During the war, the Serbs seized the city and systematically killed its male inhabitants although women and children were not exempt.
