Serbian prime minister's gesture of reconciliation rejected

(The Christian Science Monitor) Reconciliation and forgiveness are often difficult to achieve.

Serbia’s prime minister, Aleksandar Vucic, had a reminder of that Saturday. As he walked into a ceremony, a memorial honoring 8,000 Bosnian Muslims killed by Christian Serbs in Srebrenica, he was met by a crowd seething with anger and leading boisterous chants.

Tens of thousands came to mark the 20th anniversary of what’s been described as Europe’s worst massacre since the Holocaust.
