On Thursday's first-ever International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica, we honour the memory of the victims and stand in solidarity with the survivors. un.org/en/observances…

Today is #Srebrenica Memorial Day which marks the 29th anniversary of the Bosnian genocide in which over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in the space of just a few days and dumped in mass graves. To this day, a significant number of the victims' remains are still missing.

Very moving event to commemorate the #Srebrenica genocide organised by Bosnia UK Network and Remembering Srebrenica in Birmingham. Heard survivor's testimony and saw exhibition of paintings by Robert McNeil MBE

Part of a really interesting panel last night on the 29th anniversary of the #SrebrenicaGenocide organised by @yeelondraand and Remembering Srebrenica. Inspiring to hear from survivors and activists. Many noted the shameful parallels with #Gaza. Great to see such a large audience too.

"Suljagic considers the lack of relations between Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina to be a success of Serbia’s foreign policy, and highlights that Kosovo has almost no connections to Bosnia and Herzegovina." prishtinainsight.com/preserving-war…

Александар Вучић Hard to tell whether POLITICOEurope's framing is deliberate disinformation or breathtaking ignorance. Either way it's spectacularly wrong: Vučić has faced exactly zero consequences for playing the EU against Putin, his armed attack against Kosovo, or his democratic backsliding.

“The Flowers of Srebrenica” by author Aidan Hehir and illustrator David Frankum is a moving, honest, yet at times humorous account of the author’s experience with Mustafa, a survivor of the Bosnian Genocide as they travel around Bosnia and Herzegovina. buff.ly/3noUwmS

Odd that the US embassy in #Kosovo feels compelled to warn about China's role in the Ukraine/Russia war. Stranger still is that Serbia has become China's "regional hub" in the Balkans and yet still receives fulsome US support.

A very hollow threat. Kosovo's EU membership application has been (unfairly) "stuck in the inbox" for decades. Despite the progress it has made & the huge support domestically for membership, #Kosovo isn't even a candidate country; officially it is only a "potential candidate".

Approximately 40,000 people gathered in Belgrade today to protest against lithium mining in western Serbia.

It hasn't.

Delighted to receive my latest book in the post. Thanks to everyone who made it possible, in particular my friends in #Kosovo who inspired it. Available here (or send me a DM) link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Vulin, Vucic etc are not pedalling these lies for no reason. Spurious claims about "ethnic cleansing" in #Kosovo should be treated as an alarm bell, especially as they are being made in the context of ever more aggressive behaviour by Serbia towards Kosovo.

David Lammy could end an ongoing UK colonial crime this month - the continued forced displacement of the Chagossian people. Will he? My piece in Byline Times . 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2024/08/23/dav…

Interviewed by Albanian Post on Lajçak's comments re. the failure of the negotiations between @Kosovo & Serbia. “Ngërçi vjen për shkak të refuzimit të qeverisë së Serbisë për t’u angazhuar ndershëm në negociatat e ndërmjetësuara nga BE-ja" albanianpost.com/realitet-apo-r…
