Srebrenica, Mining town in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Srebrenica sits in a valley at 275 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains containing deposits of silver, lead, and zinc minerals.
The area developed as a silver mining center in 1387, attracting German miners and merchants from Ragusa who established commercial networks throughout the Balkans.
The Memorial Centre in Potočari serves as the burial site for victims identified through DNA analysis, with annual commemorations held every July.
The Guber thermal springs near Srebrenica contain mineral waters used for therapeutic treatments and medical purposes since Roman times.
The town's name derives from 'srebro', meaning silver in Serbo-Croatian, reflecting its centuries-old connection to precious metal mining.
