WASHINGTON, July 11 (FENA) - This year marks 23 years since the Srebrenica genocide. Today, we Americans join together with the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to honor the memory of more than 8,000 men and boys who perished in Srebrenica, stated the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"The horrific Srebrenica genocide reminds us that we must strive for a stable and prosperous future for the benefit of all citizens, regardless of race or religion, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and everywhere else," said Pompeo.
He added we must work harder to overcome past grievances and to strengthen democratic institutions so that our path never again leads back to dark days of the past.
"The United States stands with the people Bosnia and Herzegovina on this day. We will not forget your fallen. We honor the victims of genocide and remain steadfast in our partnership to bring enduring stability and prosperity to your country," said Pompeo on the occasion of 23rd anniversary of genocide in Srebrenica.
