Complex compensation negotiations are set to begin, following a landmark court ruling that the Dutch government was responsible for the deaths of Bosnian Muslim men and boys killed by Bosnian Serbs in 1995.
The victims had been among several hundred Muslims sheltering in a United Nations compound in the enclave of Srebrenica.
But they were killed by Bosnian Serb forces - along with thousands of other men and boys - when Dutch UN peacekeepers ejected them.
Now, the Dutch Supreme Court has ruled The Netherlands government is legally responsible for their deaths, and should pay compensation to their families.
The ruling brings to an end 12 years of litigation marked by fierce opposition from the government.
