Does anyone still
believe in Bosnia-Herzogovina or that three years of
war (1992-1995) and the following 13 years of uneasy
peace have achieved very much? Would fighting break
out again if international troops left the area?
This film paints a picture of a country that in many
ways is still as deeply divided as when the Dayton
Accords were signed in 1995. Reasons for pessimism
abound. Sarajevo had a reputation as a multi-ethnic,
tolerant city but there are signs that it has fallen
under the thrall of nationalist Muslims. Only the
presence of foreign forces, police and advisors from
the UN and the European Union has maintained the
fragile balance between Bosnia’s Serb Orthodox,
Croat Catholic, and Muslim communities over the
dozen years since the civil war. The country has
three presidents, one for each community, but the
government is riven by crises – often with the same
causes as those that sparked off the war. |
