The mascara was committed by Serbs (technically Bosnian Serb army, de-facto heavily supported by the Yugoslav army). Serbian army has relatively easily entered the city because the Bosniak defenders were largely disarmed since the United Nations were formally defending the town. Actually, UN forces (Dutch UNPROFOR troops) have only shot warning shots and have never confronted the advancing Serbian army. Neither did the NATO air-strikes occur because the Serbs have threatened to kill Dutch troops and captured French soldiers.
The fate of Srebrenica was originally planned for much larger enclave of Goražde (65,000 people, approx. 50 km from Srebrenica). Since the defending Bosniaks in Goražde refused to disarm as required by UN Commander Rupert Smith, Serbian forces have turned to smaller and undefended Srebrenica where they committed the massacre. Obviously, the responsibility for the massacre lies partially with the UN forces that have disarmed the defenders of the enclave and completely failed to prevent entry of Serbian army into the town.

The Bosnian War was from March 1, 1992 – December 14, 1995, which was a period of three years. However, the genocides were particular events during the war, that took place in the cities of Srebrenica and Žepa for only a few days. The Massacre at Srebrenica took place on July 11-13, 1995 and the Massacre at Žepa took place on July 25, 1995. Now, the fact that these massacres were only a few days long should not be seen to minimize the 8,489 Bosniaks who were butchered in these two massacres.

Why did the bosnian genocide last so long?
The Bosnian War was from March 1, 1992 – December 14, 1995, which was a period of three years. However, the genocides were particular events during the war, that took place in the cities of Srebrenica and Žepa for only a few days.

Now, the fact that these massacres were only a few days long should not be seen to minimize the 8,489 Bosniaks who were butchered in these two massacres.Considering that the Bosnian Genocide took only a few days, the question "why it lasted so long" seems improper in comparison to other genocides like the Rwandan genocide, Armenian genocide, or Jewish Holocaust that all took place over months. As for why it was not resolved by the UN soldiers that were present in Srebrenica and Žepa, this is because they were hesitant to engage the Bosnian Serb forces, both from exhaustion and disinterest. Please read more in this report from the Human Rights Watch which addresses much of the UN response (or lack thereof) in Srebrenica: HRW: The Fall of Srebrenica and the Failure of UN Peacekeeping.
