Twenty-five years ago, the worst crime in post-World War II Europe took place - in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serb forces killed more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys.

A quarter of a century after the Srebrenica massacre, young people in the Balkans are appealing to the world: "You should not forget what happened. "Because if we forget those things, they can happen again, and a Srebrenica must never happen to anyone again."

In the eastern part of the country, in the small town of Srebrenica, in July 1995, the worst crime in Europe took place since World War II. Serbian forces killed more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys there. International courts have branded this massacre of civilians genocide.
