PRAVE SARAJLIJE, JOS UVEK ZIVE U SARAJEVU, ONI SU SE BORILI ZA OVAJ DIVNI

GRAD KOJE SU ZIVOTINJE PROBALI UNISTITI. JA SE DICIM DA SAM ZNAO MAKAR JEDNOG

PRAVOG SARAJLIJU, ZATO STO SU ONI NAJFINIJU, NAJHRABRIJI LJUDI NA SVETU.

NEKA ALLAH BLAGOSUJE ONE KOJE SU ZIVI I PRIMI U RAJ ONE KOJI SU MRTVI.

There was no "moslem" nor "Serb" government in Bosnia prior to the massacres

which began in 1992. When Bosnia was recognized as an independent country

by major world powers in 1992, that Bosnian government was neither Serb nor

Moslem. When the massacres began in 1992, the Moslems were surprised, dismayed

and appaled, since they did nothing to invoke such extreme reaction. At that

time the B o s n i a n  government was well represented by the Moslems, Serbs

and Croats. At that time Bosnia had absolutely no army. And at any time very

few Moslems joined the army so that the existing Jugoslav army, which was

fourth largest army in Europe at the time, had a free hand in Bosnia. Most

of the Serb officers were ardent nationalists, and the rest of the gory

story is well known to the World.

Since the massacres, a polarization has definitely occured, much has to be

done to restore that original cosmopolitan nature of this cultural centre

of South Europe. There was a hardening of nationalist thought on all sides.

Now, Bosnian government is not so cosmopolitan. Bosnian army is predominantly

Moslem and ther is an underlying suspicion of anybody who is not a Moslem.

We hope that the old intermingling and exchange of ideas between different

nationalities will occur in a year or two, after the war criminals have been

punished, and old cultural flavour returns to beautiful Bosnia and Sarajevo.

Serbs on the other hand maintain purity of their race and reject existence

with any other race. Perhaps, they will also have a change of heart, once

true peace is achieved. Peace, Salaam, Shalom, Paz, Mir  to everyone!
