So as I said earlier, Srebrenica lies to the eastern of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but let me first introduce to you Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Capital : Sarajevo.

One of the republics of former Yugoslavia in southern Europe.

Bounded to the north, west and south to Croatia while from the east it's bounded to Serbia and Montenegro.

Geographically Bosnia represents the central, Eastern and Western regions while Herzegovina is the name of the Neretva River Basin.

Politically Bosnia and Herzegovina was an area that was separated by Ivan Mountains but was then united by Kotrohmenic the King of Bosnia at that time.

people of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Slav race.

Many Bosnians became Muslims during the period of Ottoman rule and named a Bosniak.

Let's bring the picture more clear ..

Bosnia is one of the several small countries that emerged from the disintegration of Yugoslavia which was composed of customary and religious groups :


1- Serbs (Orthodox Christians).
2- Croats (Catholic).
3- Albanians who were Muslims.

During World War II:

Germany had invaded the state of Yugoslavia but faced strong resistance by Josip Tito who after the defeat of Germany tried to unify Yugoslavia under the slogan "Brotherhood and unity".

So he managed to integrate Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia with Kosovo and Vojvodina.


He also maintained the relations with the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War but after his death in 1980, Yugoslavia was in political and economic chaos.


Successive events then lead to the independence of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from Yugoslavia in October 1991


In fact, the tragedy started in 1992....
