  Treskavica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treskavica is a mountain in central Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is located in Republika Srpska, near Kalinovik, directly to the south of Sarajevo.
At 2088 meters (6950 feet), Treskavica is the tallest of the Sarajevo mountains, and only some 300 meters shorter than the tallest mountain in the country.

Massacre in the village of Ledici, in the foothills of Treskavica mountain
Precisely that happened in the village of Ledici in the foothills of the Treskavica Mountain.
At that spot the Federation BH authorities have erected a monument to shehids [martyrs fallen fighting for Islam], "Muslim victims fallen in defense of the village of Ledici".

 News about Serbs and Serbian lands | Serbia: Shocking, Yes. But Is It Transformative?, Transitions Online, June 24, 2005
It shows members of a paramilitary unit, the Scorpions, taking a group of six prisoners, who are bound and appear to have been beaten, to Godinjske bare on Treskavica mountain south of Sarajevo, where they are killed by gunshots from behind at close range.
Most likely the intent of ICTY prosecutor Geoffrey Nice in showing the film was to refute Stevanovic's claims that the Serbian Interior Ministry had no knowledge of or connection with the 1995 massacre of the male civilian population of Srebrenica.
The Treskavica film may already have made denial of Srebrenica impossible in Serbian public opinion.

All contestants who have applied are allowed to perform, regardless of the sex, age and composition of the group.
After the end of the Homeland War, in this area the trend is increasing of organizing a greater number of such groups, especially in the war-stricken areas, and some of them (from Vrlika, Kijevo, Polaca) have even as refugees performed in an organized way, identifying themselves by performing as a personal identity.
Through the work of organized folklore groups it is possible to keep even the older genres (samacko, treskavica), which are rarely performed in public practice.

So, if we were to believe The Hague Tribunal, the Bosnian Serbs took the already formidable task of killing and disposing of thousands of men and found a way to make it worse, trucking their victims in small groups, over treacherous roads, from an area the Serbs controlled to the front, which they did not.
That version of the massacre story was sold to the public starting 10 August 1995, when the US government told the UN it had satellite pictures of freshly turned earth in a soccer field, supposedly constituting proof of the existence of a huge Srebrenica mass grave located six miles north of Srebrenica.
Perhaps NATO and The Hague wish to move their execution story south to Treskavica so that, in time for the predicted arrest of Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, and the 10th anniversary of the fall of Srebrenica, they will have the great luck to ‘discover’ the long promised but never produced mass graves.

As we saw, trucking prisoners from Srebrenica to Treskavica Mountain would have meant driving over treacherous mountain roads for 10 hours (320 kilometers round trip) into the worst fighting in Bosnia, complete with heavy artillery duels.
The meaning of “near” of course depends on context; from the viewpoint of astrophysics, the earth is near the moon.
