The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Hague found former President of the Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic guilty of ordering the takeover of the Srebrenica before the 1995 massacre.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Srebrenica massacre occurred in 1995, in and around the Bosnian town of Srebrenica. The killings were perpetrated by forces loyal to Republika Srpska, an ethnically Serbian breakaway region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

"The accused…ordered the takeover of Srebrenica," the tribunal’s judge said.
