In addition, ACBH helped write the language and pass House Resolution 310 commemorating 20 years since the Srebrenica Genocide and acknowledging that genocide took place on the entire territory of BiH – highlighting cities such as Sarajevo and Prijedor and the crimes that took place there. 2007-2017: A Decade of Bosnian American Advocacy For over a decade, ACBH has been the most effective U.S. non-governmental organization promoting BiH and the interests and needs of Bosnian Americans.
