Bosnian Muslims have voted down a bid to put a Serb mayor in control of Srebrenica for the first time since the massacre of 8000 Muslims in the town by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995.
Srebrenica was the site of the worst mass killing on European soil since the Second World War, when Bosnian Serb forces killed Muslim men and boys near the end of the country's 1992-95 war.
Barely 15% of the town's 27,600 pre-war Muslim residents, known as Bosniaks, have returned, leaving Serbs in the majority. Many of the others are scattered across Bosnia and around the world.
