Anger boiled over Saturday at a massive commemoration of the Srebrenica slaughter 20 years ago as people pelted Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic with water bottles and other objects. Vucic, once an ultra-nationalist, came to represent his country at the commemoration in an apparent gesture of reconciliation.

群眾週六在一場紀念20年前斯雷布雷尼察屠殺事件的盛大活動中怒氣沸騰，紛紛以水瓶與其他物件猛砸塞爾維亞總理武契奇。曾是極端民族主義者的武契奇代表他的國家，以明顯的和解姿態出席這場紀念活動。

As Vucic entered the cemetery to lay flowers, thousands booed and whistled. A group of women from Belgrade, Serbia, who for years have demanding Serbia to admit its role in the slaughter, yelled "responsibility!’’ and "genocide!’’ Someone threw a shoe at him, others threw water bottles and other objects. The crowd eventually chased Vucic away from the ceremony. A few people carried banners with his own wartime quote： "For every killed Serb, we will kill 100 Bosniaks.’’

在武契奇進入公墓放下花束時，數千人報以噓聲與口哨。來自塞國貝爾格勒、多年來要求該國承認其在該屠殺中所扮演角色的一群婦女，高喊「負責！」與「種族滅 絕」。有人對他投擲一隻鞋，其他人則丟出水瓶與其他東西。群眾最後將武契奇趕出這場活動。一些人則帶著引述他戰時所言的標語「每死一名塞爾維亞人，我們就 殺100名波士尼亞人。」

Tens of thousands came to mark the 20th anniversary of Europe’s worst massacre since the Holocaust -- the slaughter of 8,000 Muslims from the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

數萬名群眾齊聚追悼這起自二次世界大戰猶太人大屠殺以來，歐洲最悲慘的殺戮事件20週年紀念——波士尼亞東部小鎮斯雷布雷尼察的8000名穆斯林慘遭殺害。

"I grieve that it took us so long to unify ... to stop this violence,’’ said former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who was in office at the time of the massacre and whose administration led the NATO airstrikes against Serb positions. This ended the Bosnian 1992-95 war. （AP）

「我因耗費如此長的時間才讓我們聯合起來阻止這起暴力而感到悲痛，」美國前總統柯林頓說，屠殺當時他執政，其政府領導北約組織空襲塞爾維亞據點，結束1992至1995年的波士尼亞戰爭。（美聯社）
