Thousands of people take part in the annual peace march to the Srebrenica Memorial Centre in Bosnia and Herzegovina, marking the anniversary of the July 1995 genocide of Bosniaks. Participants retrace the route followed by survivors who fled the town in 1995, including the path taken by people who walked for days in an effort to save their lives.

Reports say several thousand people attend, with one outlet estimating participation at more than 6,500. The event brings together participants who walk to reach the memorial site, where the anniversary commemorations are focused on honoring victims and recognizing the accounts of survivors.
