The hairdresser from Srebrenica

Twenty years ago this month, the war in Bosnia officially ended, with the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement. It brought to an end three years of violence between Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks - or Bosnian Muslims. The worst single incidence of killing was the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Serb forces outside the town of Srebrenica in July 1995. Ahmed Ustic is a survivor of that massacre. He was just 19 years old at the time. Today he's one of the few Muslims who've returned to the now Serb-dominated town - where he runs a hairdressing salon. Our reporter Jo Impey went to meet him there.
