Youth from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina demand justice for victims of war crimes in Bradina and at the Tuzla Gate
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Serbia and the Youth Initiative for Human Rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the framework of the program “A Step Closer to Peace”, organized visits of a group of youth from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Bradina and a group of youth from Serbia to Tuzla to express their respect for the civilian victims of two war crimes committed on May 25, three years apart. We jointly appeal to the judicial authorities of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to efficiently and fairly conclude the proceedings for war crimes committed in Bradina and at the Tuzla Gate in May 1992 and 1995, respectively, so that the families of the victims can achieve a minimum of judicial justice three decades after the crimes.
