Ratko Mladić- Final verdict. Potocari Memorial.

The final verdict on the sentence already given to Ratko Mladić was delivered in Haag yesterday. He is serving life in prison. Thankfully, this is still the case today- he lost his appeal. The women and other survivors of his gruesome actions committed in Srebrenica during one week in July 1995 were gathered in Potocari at what is today the memorial centre and cemetery, back then, it was the UN headquarters. The court had no reason to change anything- the evidence is clear.-much evidence was even recorded by Mladic himself, documented at the time and easy to access. A sense of relief could be felt- the 'Butcher of Bosnia', responsible for genocide, and other war crimes, will spend the rest of his life in prison.

A wedding.

I remember, while going through old work, some images that was just left behind. In 2012, staying at Tuzla hotel, preparing to cover the Mars Mira, or the peace march between Srebrenica and Tuzla, a wedding took place. It seems strhange when you were loaded with the story of what happend in Srenbrenica at that time, 16 years before. Still, it is a reminder that life must go on. Today, the big news is that 'Quo Vadis, Aida?' is officialy nominated for the Oscars- Congrats!
