SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Relatives of about 8,000 Bosnian Muslims, massacred by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica, have barred the Russian ambassador in Bosnia from honouring the victims at their joint cemetery because of his denial that the atrocity was genocide.

"Nobody who denies genocide will enter the Potocari Memorial centre," Munira Subasic, the president of an association of Srebrenica mothers, told Reuters by telephone on Tuesday.
