7. SOUNDBITE (English) Serge Brammertz, chief prosecutor of International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in the Hague:
"This week is the 30th anniversary of siege of Sarajevo, and we all remember the images of shelling and sniping of the city, and of course, what we see today in Ukraine is very much reminding the crimes we have seen in this country (Bosnia) 30 years ago, 25 years ago. Of course, what is happening in Ukraine is reminding the tragic events and we all hoped that (Bosnia) would have been the last war in Europe but unfortunately history and actuality is showing us that we were wrong."

9. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Munira Subasic, whose son and husband were killed in Srebrenica massacre in July 1995:
"I thought Europe learnt something (from Srebrenica) but unfortunately, it didn't. Looking at images from Ukraine from last few days, I must say that I'm very disturbed. It completely brought me back to 1995. The world is unjust and it's showing it for the second, third time. After the Holocaust they said 'never again', then after genocide (in Srebrenica) they also said "never again", but you see now Ukraine, in Europe, it's happening again in Europe. Europe has not learnt anything from the past."

11. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Fazila Efendic, whose four close family members were killed in Srebrenica massacre in July 1995:
"Unfortunately, look what's happening today. I thought Srebrenica will never repeat again, but it seems it is happening again. It's very hard for me. Watching those pictures from Ukraine on TV, it completely threw me back to Srebrenica genocide and it brought back our suffering."

STORYLINE
As Bosnia marked the 30th anniversary of the siege of Sarajevo, the chief prosecutor of the Hague war crimes tribunal visited Srebrenica and met with the families of the victims of the genocide committed in the eastern Bosnian town by Serb forces in 1995.
Serge Brammertz's visit was overshadowed by recent events and images from the Ukrainain town of Bucha where hundreds of civilians were found dead after invading Russian forces left last Wednesday.
Images from Bucha disturbed mothers who lost their sons in the Srebrenica massacre, and reminded them of atrocities committed against their loved ones.
Munira Subasic's son and husband were killed in July 1995 when Serb troops overran the town.
"After the Holocaust they said 'never again', then after genocide (in Srebrenica) they also said 'never again', but you see now Ukraine, in Europe, it's happening again in Europe. Europe has not learnt anything from the past," Subasic said.
Fazila Efendic, who lost four members of her close family in the massacre, said watching pictures of the war in Ukraine "brought back our suffering."
Brammertz laid flowers at the memorial center and cemetery in Srebrenica, where the bodies of 6,652 Bosniacs have been buried so far.
The International Red Cross has estimated over 8.000 Bosniac men and boys were killed during the Bosnian Serb invasion of Srebrenica in July 1995.
Over 1,000 bodies have yet to be found.
