SREBRENICA

Srebrenica stretches along a narrow valley in Eastern Bosnia. The place became worlwide known because, after being declared a UN safe area theoretically protected by Dutch peacekeepers, up to 8,000 Bosnian muslim males were killed by Serbian troops in July 1995. Now it is a relatively lively town in spite of its sad recent history. Fortunately I met there a bunch of Italian volunteers organising a week-long international event on memory and dialogue who offered me accomodation at one of the muslim families hosting the participants. Grazzie, ragazzi.
