Srebrenica massacre: Serbian PM flees commemoration

Serbia's PM Aleksandar Vucic has been chased away by stone-throwing protesters from a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

About 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys died at the hands of Bosnian Serb forces amid the break-up of Yugoslavia.

Serbia backed the Bosnian Serbs and Mr Vucic had been praised for attending.

In Belgrade afterwards, he urged Serbs not to show hatred to Bosnian Muslims, adding he wanted friendly ties.

Guy Delauney reports from Srebrenica.
