DID YOU KNOW?  -- Three years before the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide, Serbs torched Bosniak villages and killed at least 3,166 Bosniaks around Srebrenica. In 1993, the UN described the besieged situation in Srebrenica as a "slow-motion process of genocide." In July 1995, Serbs forcibly expelled 25,000 Bosniaks, brutally raped many women and girls, and systematically killed 8,000+ men and boys (DNA confirmed).

MLADIC: I WAS PROTECTED BY THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

PHOTO: BELGRADE, SERBIA - MAY 29: Ratko Mladic's son, Darko Mladic, gives a speech during a rally organized by the ultra nationalist Serbian Radical Party in front of the Parliament building on May 29, 2011 in Belgrade, Serbia. He is protesting the arrest of his father and his upcoming extradition to the Hague Tribunal on charges of the Bosnian Genocide.

Ratko Mladic, indicted for the Bosnian Genocide in relation to massacres at Srebrenica, Prijedor and other districts in Bosnia, says the Serbian Orthodox Church protected him and even planned his funeral in the Orthodox Monastery of "Sveta Melanija" in Zrenjanin, near Belgrade. 

Judging from the  text appearing in Sarajevo's "Dnevni Avaz", Mladic's son Darko acknowledged the Srebrenica genocide, but added that his father told him that "he had nothing to do with the Srebrenica genocide" and "he did not order genocide that occurred there."
