We spent so much time watching the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s that its almost as if we are going back to a city we know. I remember the nightly coverage of people risking their lives just going to the market while Serb snipers tried to pick them off, the incompetence of the UN and the tunnel under the airfield that saved the city Nowadays the city has largely recovered its glory and is being rebuilt but the hills are white with the graves of 10000people who died in the siege.
The final photos in the blog are - the Latin bridge where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was
assassinated and WWI started and A 'Sarajevo rose' caused by a mortar hitting the pavement.
