Description
When first barricades and first gun shots occurred in the
capitol of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, I was seventeen
years old. It was the year 1992, and one of the worst mass
killings in the history of mankind began. At that time, my
family, my friends, my neighbors, and I were still unaware
that we will lose all privileges related to peace. People of
this country, which was called Yugoslavia, proudly holding
the title of the biggest and the wealthiest Balkan country,
started losing their freedom, their homes and their lives.
I, as any other teen, knew about war only from movies and
video games until my first encounter with those whose
intention was not to act or play but to overpower, destroy
and kill.
