In July 2015, Scotland marked the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide with a large service within St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, attended by Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon MSP. At this service the First Minister met the Mothers of Srebrenica and pledged to visit them in Bosnia. In August 2016 she fulfilled that promise and visited the Potocari Cemetery further raising the profile of the charity and its work.

The Scottish Board identified the need to become a separate charity in Scotland and created Remembering Srebrenica (Scotland).
