posted: Ceremonies in Sarajevo are marking 20 years since the start of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, a conflict that saw the worst atrocities in Europe since World War II.
The conflict began in April 1992 as part of the break-up of Yugoslavia.
About 100,000 people were killed and nearly half the population forced from their homes in four years of fighting.
Red chairs fill the street in Sarajevo where the conflict began - 11,541, one for each victim in the city.
People have been placing white flowers on some of the chairs as they walk alongside them.
A teddy bear, toys and schoolbooks have been placed on some of the small chairs which symbolise children killed during the four-year long siege by Serb forces.
Sarajevans were asked to stop what they were doing at 12:00 GMT for an hour to mark the start of the conflict.
