Families of the dead, survivors of the shelling, Bosnian politicians and representatives of war victims' associations laid wreaths on Friday at the site of the massacre at the Markale marketplace to mark its 27th anniversary.

Families of victims, Bosnian politicians and ordinary Sarajevans gathered to lay flowers and pay tributes on Wednesday at the site of the Markale market shelling on the 26th anniversary of the deadly attack during the siege of Sarajevo by Bosnian Serb forces.

A total of 1,601 boys and girls lost their lives during the siege of Sarajevo. One of them was Mirza Imamovic.

His mother Zlatka Imamovic recalled how one day she heard an explosion and ran out of the house with her husband, calling for Mirza, who was playing outside.

As closing statements continued at Ratko Mladic’s trial, prosecutors said the trial had proved that the former Bosnian Serb military chief’s forces terrorised Sarajevo with a shelling and sniping campaign.
