Sarajevo to Belgrade: One-Way with Srebrenica Genocide Study Tour

The starting time is 8:00 a.m. usually in front of Info Bosnia Tourist Information Center located on main pedestrian street Ferhadija, just next to "Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures", but can be arranged from elsewhere, if requested. After a small introduction and giving to our guest complimentary bottles of water and sandwiches with traditional Bosnian sausage (vegetarian food at request) , we can start our journey.

City of Srebrenica is located around two and half hours from the city of Sarajevo. Road takes us through desolate mountainous area with beautiful nature of Eastern Bosnia. While You are able to enjoy scenery we will start our presentation with detailed stories, carefully selected so You are able to understand a complex matter of "The Fall of Yugoslavia" which is crucial for Your understanding of Srebrenica genocide. 

Our first stop is in front of battery factory, used by UN forces during the war in Bosnia. In previous headquarters of the Dutch battalion is now located one of the most modern museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina, “Museum of Srebrenica Genocide”. There we will be meeting the curator and experience first-hand story about the survival in Srebrenica enclave. Museum is equipped with multimedia facilities with selection of movies, that will help You understand events that led to the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.

From Museum of Srebrenica Genocide, we continue to Memorial room, where You will be able to hear the stories of the victims which were made by a local journalist. Part of the Memorial room is also dedicated to the people responsible for the massacre.

Victims that were found and identified are resting at Memorial cemetery. Now the cemetery counts 6575 victims, but that number rises every year.

After more than two decades, Srebrenica still remains a capital of pain in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Genocide was not only a horrible collective experience for Bosniaks, but also a Stunde Null of Serbian history. Today inhabited by people connected by one of the worst crimes in modern history, trying to cope with every day life.

Srebrenica is only 15 minutes drive from the Memorial Center. A small town with rich history is far away from industrial leader it once was. In Srebrenica we will have opportunity to have lunch, explore town, recognize buildings seen at the Memorial and learn about every day life of locals.

We have arrived at the accommodation address in Belgrade and it is time to say goodbye.
