Thousands of people participate in the annual Peace March to the Srebrenica Memorial Centre in Bosnia and Herzegovina, retracing the route taken by genocide survivors in 1995. The march marks the anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, during which Bosniak civilians were killed by Bosnian Serb forces.
Balkan Insight reports that the event draws thousands of participants for the 31st year since the genocide, with participants walking to reach the memorial site. Euronews also describes the march as a remembrance event for the victims of the genocide and for survivors who walked for days to save their lives, emphasizing the historical connection between the route and the efforts of those fleeing the killings.
While exact participation figures vary by outlet, both sources agree that the march is large, public, and held annually, bringing together citizens to commemorate the victims and honour the memory of survivors. The event is focused on remembrance and education through the act of walking to the memorial.
