During his visit he also addressed MPs in Sarajevo, where he said,
"In a tragedy of such epic proportions, there was so much blood and so much blame.”
"The international community failed in preventing the genocide that unfolded. But we have learned from the horror and we are learning still".
His comments were echoed by Hasan Nuhanovic, a former interpreter for the Dutch UN battalion in Srebrenica. Nuhanovic said,
"The UN must take a position... [and] recognise its responsibility".
"The people who delivered my family to the Serb forces were [UN] blue helmets."
"There is no organisation which is more responsible for what happened in Srebrenica than the UN".
Ban Ki-moon also visited Sarajevo’s Olympic stadium, where he participated in a symbolic run.
8000 Muslim men and boys were massacred by Bosnian Serb forces at Srebrenica in 1995.
