Angelina Jolie and British Foreign Secretary William Hague visited the country to promote their campaign to end sexual violence against women in war.

Ange and William Hague also laid flowers at a cemetery for Bosnian Muslim victims of the Srebrenica massacre in 1995, which was Europe's worst massacre since World War Two.
