Today marks the passage of 24 years since the
genocide in Srebrenica. The American people join with the people of
Bosnia and Herzegovina to honor the memory of more than 8,000
innocent victims.
This painful chapter in European history must
never be denied nor forgotten. We stand with those who continue to
seek justice. We reaffirm our sustained support for those working to
honor the dignity of all of the victims, including those who still
await their final resting places. The tragic events of the past
remind us of the need to work in unity for a better future, one that
is stable, prosperous, and inclusive of all citizens of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The United States remains a steadfast partner of
the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, as we remember the
fallen, we reaffirm our commitment to building peace and prosperity
throughout the region and to ensuring such a tragedy can never
happen again.
