The Srebrenica Memorial Room, Potocari, Bosnia Hercegovina: two black towers sit in the former UN headquarters. In one a film explains the course of the genocide, in another showcases tell the stories of twenty of those killed. Jasmin Agovic.

Wood-smoke curls through the darkness as I make my way to Sarajevo’s bus station for the 7am daily bus to Srebrenica.  It’s my first visit to Bosnia since 2007 when the Srebrenica Memorial Room opened, a project initiated by Lord Ashdown, then High Representative in Bosnia Hercegovina, and supported by the IWM.

Once on the road, it’s good to see the familiar landscape – even if it is through a haze of rain.  Substantial brick houses dot the fields – they’re usually shared between families with one on each floor.  Each has a pile of logs outside – ready for the winter.
