APTV has been to the Serb-held village devastated in an attack by the Bosnian Government army last Friday.
Three civilians were wounded in the attack on Visnjici.
Now tension is building in the protected zone of Srebrenica amidst more fighting between Bosnian government forces and Serb rebels.
This, the quiet village of Visnjici, was the site of Friday's attack by the Bosnian Government forces.
Parts of it have been reduced to smoking piles of rubble.
The Serb-held village was attacked by Bosnian Government forces in the early hours of last Friday morning.
News of the attack on Visnjici was broadcast early Monday by the Bosnian Serb news agency with the information that troops had killed several elderly Serb civilians.
However local Serb sources say that only three civilians were wounded and that houses were attacked and robbed when 100 Bosnian Government troops sneaked out of the nearby town of Srebrenica to attack the village.
An eyewitness described the scene.
SOUNDBITE:
"The man here had a couple of bullets. He fired them and fled. There was an old woman here, she was wounded, and she heard screaming and shouting."
SUPER CAPTION: Eyewitness
