The Bosnian Serb government delegation was headed by Boris Gaspar, the minister for tourism -- and an ethnic Croat.
Among the mourners was Esma Omerovic, 37, who lost her husband, Sead, and 17 other male members of her extended family in the Srebrenica slaughter. Her husband's remains were recently found in a mass grave and identified through DNA analysis.
"The hope that my Sead is alive died," she said, her voice wracked with sobs, as she stood next to her husband's casket.
"The hope that justice will reach those who committed this evil is still living in me," she said.
Rizah Hasanovic, 60, who said he was still waiting for the remains of 50 members of his wider family to be found, expressed envy for those whose years of uncertainty came to an end with the identification of their loved ones killed in Srebrenica.
"I lost everybody and everything, including the desire to live," he said.
