Thousands of Bosnians took part in burying the remains of 33 victims of the Srebrenica massacre 24 years after the horrific crime committed by the Bosnian Serbs and because of their leaders in international courts.

The bodies were buried Thursday after prayers at the cemetery of the martyrs of the city of Srebrenica, northeast of Bosnia, in the presence of members of the families of the victims and officials of the Bosniac and foreigners, including the Minister of Youth Mohammad Muharram Kasaboglu.

On the other hand, no officials from Serbia or the Bosnian Serb entity attended the burial ceremony, as they refuse to consider genocide against the Bosnian Muslims.

More than 8,000 Bosnian men and children were killed in the UN-protected enclave by Serb forces during the Bosnian civil war. The massacre was perpetrated by units of the Serb Army under the command of General Ratko Mladic.

Victims' families say more than 1,000 people remain missing after the massacre in July 1995, while at the same time assuring that many of the perpetrators of the massacres against Bosnian Muslims remain at large.

The war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has sentenced life imprisonment to a number of Serb leaders, including the commander of the Bosnian Serbs Radokan Karadzic and then commander of their forces Ratko Mladic.
