The Chair of the British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union and member of Labour Friends of Kosovo and the Western Balkans, @FabianLeedsNE, is today chairing the Berlin Process Western Balkans Parliamentary Summit alongside Minister @SDoughtyMP. As Fabian rightly notes,

Today we mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, when over 8,000 predominantly Bosnian Muslim men and boys were brutally murdered. The horrors of Srebrenica remind us why we must remain vigilant against hatred and division. We must never forget.

Today at St. Paul’s we marked the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide - remembering the 8,000 Bosniak men and boys murdered because of their ethnicity and religion. As global tensions escalate, we must remember we have more in common than that which divides us.

Today I attended the Srebrenica Remembrance Service at St Paul's Cathedral. 30 years on, we remember the thousands of victims, honour the survivors, and reaffirm our commitment to challenging hatred and intolerance wherever it exists. 📸 Graham Lacdao / @StPaulsLondon
