He stated that “in Srebrenica something terrible could happen” and that he “foresaw Srebrenica”, that “there was going to be terrible tragedy in Srebrenica.” The fall of Srebrenica was the result of and a reaction to Bosnian Muslim attacks against Bosnian Serbs in the Srebrenica area.
In Kravica, north of Srebrenica, the interior of the parish church was plundered and damaged.
This is demonstrated in the Srebrenica case where Bosnian Muslim troops slit the throats of Serbs and decapitate them and mutilate their bodies in the sadistic domination cycle or phase but then shift to the victimization phase when they become victims.

 "Srebrenica: The Dutch Sabra and Shatilla," by Manfred Gerstenfeld
The case of the Dutch association with the Srebrenica massacre becomes particularly relevant against the background of the claims brought against Israeli Prime Minister Sharon in a Belgian court in June 2001 for his alleged responsibility for the murders of Palestinians at Sabra and Shatilla committed by Lebanese Christian Phalangists.
Srebrenica mayor Mandzic was present, as the representative of the Bosnian Moslems, in the negotiations in those fatal days in July 1995 between Serbian Bosnian General Ratko Mladic and the Dutch commander Karremans.

 Srebrenica: ten years on | openDemocracy
Srebrenica on Saturday night: and such sentiments are echoed in the Bar Venera, as menacing-looking lads assemble to drink, chatter and catch up on the English and Italian football results as they arrive by teletext.
Srebrenica high school – cradle of the town’s future – is adorned with Serbian nationalist regalia, reproductions of Orthodox icons and pictures of Serbian national heroes throughout history.
Srebrenica is iconic for the wilful inaction of the international community to stop the massacre, almost to the point of complicity through negligence; iconic of three years’ appeasement of the Serbs, of fruitless peace plans at which their leaders, Karadzic and Mladic could only laugh as they carried on the killing.

 Our Shame Over Srebrenica - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
The West's humiliation at Srebrenica — specifically that of the Dutch UN battalion that allowed the Serb victors to separate the Muslim women and children from the men who were to be murdered, but also the UN and now Nato's pusillanimous commanders — was still not fully recognised.
The gate lay open, the refuse of the Dutch battalion of the UN Protection Force (UNProfor) — those who had stood by as the thousands were taken away to the slaughter — still littered the UN's abandoned watchtowers, its mess and headquarters offices, its medical post and its commanding officer's billet.
Which is why I suspect that our shame at Srebrenica, our equally humiliating failure to hunt for Mladic and Karadzic in the years that followed, our refusal at Dayton even to talk to the Albanian delegation, led directly to the tragedy and crimes of Kosovo.

 Srebrenica
All the time until the moment when Srebrenica fell to the Serb control for the third and final time in July 1995, the Western media and their politicians insisted that U.N. convoys, supposedly with humanitarian help, should regularly reach "besieged and hungry" Srebrenica Muslims.

Early in the spring, army commanders in Sarajevo ordered most of the top commanders in Srebrenica, including Naser Oric, to leave the enclave for “consultations and training.” Oric was never to return, and this was fatal to the morale and cohesion of the troops defending Srebrenica.

 Refuting the Srebrenica Myth: An Islamist Perspective
A delegation of Bosniacs from Srebrenica was transported to Sarajevo by UNPROFOR [UN forces in Bosnia] helicopter to participate in the debate.
Some surviving members of the Srebrenica delegation have stated that President Izetbegovic also told them he had learned that a NATO intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina was possible, but could only occur if the Serbs were to break into Srebrenica, killing at least 5,000 of its people.
Srebrenica was therefore politically expendable to Izetbegovic, and it is increasingly evident that he exploited it for maximum political advantage.
