The war in ex Yugoslavia and the dramatic Sarajevo siege
related by one of the most important journalists. Federico
Bugno, correspondent of the weekly magazine « L’Espresso
», followed Balkans’ events all along –
from Belgrade to Zagreb to Bosnia to Bihac to the Pope’s
visit – and they are reported in this book in their
original version, enriched with a series of notes, that re-examine
these events « a posteriori », with the benefit
of hindsight. And indeed the book shows clearly that, to a
careful observer, the risks of a terrible and criminal conflict
were evident since the beginning of the crisis. |
In his articles, Federico
Bugno denounces the passive attitude of the Great Western Powers
and of the United Nations which had not been able to stop the
war ; but, above all, he goes in search of the true Sarajevo,
the city exalted by the cruel siege lasted 1,300 days and that
the whole world has come to know. A city which has not been
subdued by the war but has started to change (worsening) just
with the start of the peace process, established by Dayton’s
agreements.
