Description
Srebrenica is a town and municipality in the east of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the entity of Republika Srpska. Srebrenica is a small mountain town, its main industry being salt mining and a nearby spa. During the Bosnian War, the town was the site of the July 1995 massacre, determined to have been a crime of genocide. On March 24, 2007, Srebrenica's municipal assembly adopted a resolution demanding independence from the Republika Srpska entity; the Serb members of the assembly did not vote on the resolution.
