MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia called on Friday for all people responsible for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys to be brought to justice.

"We strongly advocate that all persons who participated in these and other crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina should face justice and be punished as soon as possible," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in statement.

On Wednesday, Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that would have condemned the massacre as a genocide to mark its 20th anniversary. [ID:nL1N0ZO14A]

Dog Eats Chocolate Bar as Final Treat Before Being Put to Sleep
A man gave his dying dog a chocolate bar – a treat dogs love but that is toxic to them – as a final gesture of love before she was put to sleep on April 23.Footage recorded by Miller Hurtado Toro shows his dog Sharon enjoying the tasty sweet before she was injected with euthanizing drugsToro told Storyful that Sharon was 12 years old and had been fighting the tick-borne canine disease ehrlichiosis for two years.“We tried to take her to find more treatments, but they saw that she had lung cancer, with metastases in her lungs and liver that were making her weak from just lying down,” Toro said.“The day before yesterday, she could not get up again, and that is when I made the decision,” he explained.Toro said he had often denied Sharon a taste of chocolate as the candy is notably bad for dogs’ health, but that he thought she should try it as her final treat.“No dog should leave without first trying chocolate,” Toro said.
