Today marks 14 years since Serb paramilitaries known as the 'Scorpios' who were filmed taunting their vicitms before shooting them in the back as they lay in a ditch were found guilty. Three of the Bosnian Muslim men they killed were just teenagers https://t.co/WVPXfIuoPh
@SrebrenicaUK Had the privilege of meeting the general in Sarajevo. A real character but above all a man of principle, who put morals above nationality. An inspiration. #goodrelations #TBUC
