I lived in Bosnia during this war. Lost two uncles and remember heading to a giant meadow with my mum to identify her sisters husbands. It was a terrible conflict. My late father walked during bombing raids to UN bread lines to collect food and water and walked it back. He told me you never ran during a bombing raid because you didn't know if you'd run right into a falling shell, so you just walked, getting showered in debris and moving from building to building to avoid sniper fire. He had some really messed up stories about his experience. Thank you Johnny for shedding light on this, it really means to world to everyone who experienced this awful war.

I had a professor, his name gave away that he was Bosnian so he was put into a labor camp cutting down trees mostly. After some time he was let go. Later he was taken to another labor camp and forced to dig trenches, he acted as a guard and escaped with a fake ID and lived in Belgrade until the war ended. He told us “And that was my first performance” and that that performance was the start for his love of acting, and the arts.

WHY CAN'T BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BE A UNITARY MULTI-ETHNIC COMMUNITY...? Bosnia and Herzegovina was a multi-ethnic community in Yugoslavia - while the cohesive strength of the community came from self-governing worker (class...!) consciousness, which was: above all religious and national consciousness. In such circumstances: where the dominant form was social ownership of the means of production, and the main production relationship: SELF-MANAGEMENT, it was easy to build multi-ethnic relations and multiculturalism: which was reflected in film, sports and especially in music, where it manifested itself the most...! With the introduction of capitalist relations and private property as the dominant form in the economy, where PROFIT is the main driver of everything and not satisfying the NEEDS OF CITIZENS, political relations are radically changed, where the existing multi-ethnic and multicultural community is legally disintegrating, because this "new" is now based on : A MULTI-PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM, where each ethnic group legally creates its own political party... And they are no longer bound by CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS and affiliation, but exclusively by NATIONAL or RELIGIOUS (both in politics, culture, economy, security and sports...!) Any attempt in such (bourgeois...) circumstances, to establish some kind of UNITARY COMMUNITY, inevitably leads to the domination of one nation and therefore to conflict within such an artificial (forced...) community, and finally, to the inevitable... - WAR...! I will prove to you with a very simple question, that Muslims from Bosnia are ESSENTIALLY the instigators of the war in BiH...! "If TOMORROW ALL SERBS from Republika Srpska were to collectively convert from Orthodoxy to Islam, would you - shoot them"...? Answer me....? If you have a "hertz"...? If you say: that you would not shoot the Serbs, if they collectively convert to Islam: THAT MEANS - THAT YOU did not like the multi-ethnic and multicultural Bosnia that existed in the SFRY and that you are: 100% responsible for the outbreak of war in Bosnia...! If you say: That you would still shoot at the Serbs... - it only means that you are a FASCIST society and a fascist TOTALITARIAN community, which does not know how to organize economic life in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the principles of democratic principles, and that is why you NEED ROBBERY of other peoples and their economic and financial resources. So...? Are you the instigators of war in BiH...? The answer is: YES...! Muslims are the instigators of war in BiH...!

​​@Milos milosic your comment is too much bs for me to bother reading so ill just answer ur question at the begining. the reason it isnt as unitary as it was in yugoslavia is becouse the whole country was held together by Tito. as soon as Tito died in 1980 thing started going downhill and everyone started descending into extreme nationalism wich eventually lead to the wars (and this isnt me praising tito or anything im not the biggest fan of his at all its just the truth)

I'm Congolese, but I have a few ex-Yougoslavian friends (Bosnia, Serbie and Croatia), what my Bosnian friends (and parents) told me about that war was horrific. It's strange how people who could live with each other, look a like, ear the same food...and still be able to kill each other. Fortunately, the war is over, but both side lost so much for...what? I hope to visit Bosnia one day, as I have met great people from that country.

There are many bad things that the ethnic groups mentioned in the video committed against each other before Yugoslavia was a thing. However many still lived relatively normal, but there was many things behind the scene because of this. And this type of thing is still common today. An example can be in the Central African Republic. Same thing with Muslims and Christians against each other. People live peacefully until some group manages to trick the majority into chaos.

I'm from Sarajevo and I was a part of the war there. You can't put into words what happened. The fact that the city was blockaded in 1425, that thousands of children died, that the sports fields where I played football as a boy were converted into cemeteries says it all.

I was a child during the war. My dad was put in a concentration camp, Manjaca. We were forced to flee our town, which was and still is predominantly Serbian. I am Muslim and have no hate towards anyone and don’t wish the experience of a war to anyone. However, I am deeply disappointed and saddened by the world’s silence as so many heinous crimes were committed against so many innocent people.

I find it absolutely insane that people outside of Europe aren't aware of the Bosnian civil war. I'm Scottish, and here in Europe it was massive news when it happened (I wasn't alive to see that though). I personally know people who fought there, such as my friend's father. Absolutely terrible conflict, let's hope it never gets repeated

I must also say that Bosnia is one of the most beautiful countries I have visited as well as the people being some of the most amazing, hospitable and friendliest that I have come across.

When I visited Bosnia with my family, my dad showed me a vhs tape taken on an old camcorder. The video was taken by a close friend of my dads. He was inside his house, filming as the bombs fell just a couple hundred feet away. They were targeting farms and food stores in the area, trying to starve out the inhabitants. After the bombing subsided he left the house and ran over to a shed nearby. My dad was outside the shed, laughing from shock. He then pointed towards a massive hole in the ground just a couple yards away. A shell had landed a mere 20 feet from the shed, knocking my dad off his feet. If he had been just a bit closer, he would have been blown to bits, and I would not be here today. It a miracle he survived the war with all his limbs intact. As this was not the only near death experience he's told stories about.

George Washington used that same tactic to wipe out the Native Americans in New York. He was called "Town Destroyer" or Conotocaurius. Its the same nickname that was given to his genocidal grandfather. We also used that tactic in Russia at the end of WW1 in 1918/19, starving the Jews and Slavs (Bolsheviks) during their civil war. Did the same in the Philippines, set up death camps- nearly a million died around the year 1900. Also the same in Iraq, another million civilians killed in 2003, accordng to the ORB estimate. That was "shock and awful"

as someone who came to the US as a small child because of this war, it’s story and it’s impact on those in my family have transcended generations. I am glad this is getting more attention. It’s hard to put into words the utter sadness and grief one feels for a country that isn’t the same as it was, and what it’s people have gone through.

I was part of that. We 'the dutch' were send on a mission with basic weapons and mostly transport vehicles and no tanks. Therefor my trust is gone in the UN and my government. Recently they apologized after 27 years. I was 19 and a lot of soldiers were around that age. So nowadays I'm really upset when people promote the army or war. It's all a game and we're just collateral. there is no bravery in war, just foolishness

My family are Croatians from Sarajevo. They lived near the Željo stadium. Gladly, my mother and grandparents were able to leave right before the siege started because my grandfather saw it coming. My stepfather wasn't so lucky. He lived through the entire siege, where he lost his father to a granade that also hit him. Almost half of my family experienced the siege first hand. And that's just one of so many affected places. I was born post-war in Germany, and I think it's so important to make the public more aware of all the things that happened in this region because almost nobody knows anything about it outside ex-yu countries. I appreciate this video a lot!

@bezimeni04 It's unfortunate that i have to do some mental exercises, not only because the two mentioned people have nothing to with that, but because i developed a bad prejudice against serbs, and while not unreasonable, it's never fair to apply such thing to an entire population, specially in a conflict as convoluted as the Balkan Wars. Now, if you think people has forgotten what the germans did, i'm sorry to inform you that you are sorely mistaken. There was simply another enemy, and tiredness of war, but even today people do may forgive, but not forget. Expect the same with Yugoslavia.

As a young child, I spent the entire duration of the war in Bosnia. My mother, who was in her early twenties at the time, and I were constantly on the move, seeking shelter from the relentless bombings. I vividly recall waiting in line for aid from the Red Cross and having to flee from their bombs. One night, my father, who was also in his twenties and deployed on the front line, returned to us. However, my mother did not recognize him at first due to the hardships we had endured. Despite being a Bosniak, my father's best friends were a Serb and a Croat, which further emphasizes the tragic divide that the war had created. The aftermath of the war was also challenging for us. Food shortages were rampant, and my father's salary was paid in one bag of groceries per month instead of money. To supplement our food supply, we went on frequent fishing trips to a nearby river. These fishing trips are among the few memories from that time that I recall with a smile.

My whole family is Bosnian. Back in the day they lived in Sarajevo. My parents were kids back then and didn’t meet each other throughout the war, but they always told me stories about the war. Some of their friends fled into other countries like Germany or the USA, but they weren’t very lucky. They stayed in Bosnia the whole war. My mom was somewhat safe throughout the war because she lived in Dobrinja, a place in Sarajevo that wasn’t attacked by Serbs very often but was protected well, but her life wasn’t easy as well. She didn’t have food so she would have to go outside into Sarajevo and try to find a way to get money and get some bread. On the other hand, my dad lived a very dangerous life. He lived in Vratnik, also in Sarajevo, but that place wasn’t safe for a bit. Grenades would fall down every minute, you can always hear the artillery outside and worst of all he had to survive those snipers. He told me stories how he didn’t have any food or water, so during the war he would grab an axe, sneak outside and go into a forest. From there he would cut trees as a 13 year old. He made a hole for himself in that forest so he could hide when he hears something or someone. When he would get enough wood, he would go split it. One half would be to make a fire and one to sell it and get some food. My grandpa (his dad) would go fight in the war everyday. He would rarely come back home to support him. He was only left with his mom, his brother and his sister. Now both of my grandparents are dead. May God grant them heaven. The school back then was in a bad shape. They would rarely have school and they would always change teachers due to lots of them dying in the massacres. Though, the teachers were always nice and would always try and pull out an A from them, because they wouldn’t even have time to learn or study for school, so the teachers would give free A’s back then. These are some horrifying stories from my parents. I could never image this and i still wonder how they survived all of those years all alone in that war. Now were all happy, alive and healthy and we all live in Sarajevo, but were afraid from the things we are hearing. We’re afraid of another war, so my dad wants to send us to Germany and let himself stay to fight. We hope it doesn’t happen again 🙏

One of my mother's cousins was in the Canadian Army all his life and took part in many conflicts. He went to Bosnia as part of the UN peacekeeping forces and he said it was by far the most brutal and horrifying war theatre he had ever seen.

@thewindthatshakesbar People need to know a lot of serbian history than to make some conclusions about the situations at the Balkan, we were Serbia centuries ago and before new countries at the Balkan, first of all zou need to know that bosnian , croatian are not the languages they are dialects of serbian language. I am avare of all those projects because I read about our hzstory, also the archtefacts still exist but a lot of them were destroyed at the bombing of the national library during WW2. A lot of documents were destroyed but still normal linguists know the true and normal historians.

You need to investigate , and who are bosnians and what are the connections with serbs , they are islamised serbs, a lot of nowdays croatians are catolic serbs. BUt everyone can to choose what they want to be. It is hard and at the same time I am proud being serbian. Hard because you need not to ruin all good things that our grand grand parents left to us, and it is hard because of the western bad propaganda about the serbs. You need to figure out about the serbs in some books , for example ,,The Life of a men in Balkan´´ by Stanislav Krakow Mavro Orbini ,,The kingdome of slavs´ Stanislav Krakov ,,Travelogues 1¨,2,3, ,,The forbidden history of Serbs and Serbian Yugoslav countries in Turkey and Austria¨ M.S.Milojevic ,,United Kingdom, Why Keep Your Silence¨ by Jugoslav Petrusic and Stevan Djurovic. Good luck

I remember in middle school a third of my class was made up of kids from former Yugoslavia. All of them had different ethnic backgrounds but they ended up forming a comradeship and became good friends because they all hated the war in general. None of them blamed anyone except the rich classes making life miserable for everyone else. I learned a lot of Serbian/Croatian swearing while at that school.

I remember being a 10 yr old in Pakistan and seeing a sudden surge of people who didnt look like me on the streets. A lot of Bosnians were airlifted to Pakistan during the war between 1992 and 1995. I saw mostly women. They were traumatized by what the war had done to them. Housed in refugee camps in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I dont remember much more about them apart from the fact that they were great people who deserved better. Sending love and peace to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

We had a Pakistani UN base in my hometown in the 1993, I met some of them in my school as I was a kid at the times during the siege. I still remember them playing Pakistani traditional songs on bagpipes (I'm not sure how you call those instruments in Pakistan). I guess it's part of the British heritage? In any case, Love to Pakistan from a Bosniak.

WHY CAN'T BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BE A UNITARY MULTI-ETHNIC COMMUNITY...? Bosnia and Herzegovina was a multi-ethnic community in Yugoslavia - while the cohesive strength of the community came from self-governing worker (class...!) consciousness, which was: above all religious and national consciousness. In such circumstances: where the dominant form was social ownership of the means of production, and the main production relationship: SELF-MANAGEMENT, it was easy to build multi-ethnic relations and multiculturalism: which was reflected in film, sports and especially in music, where it manifested itself the most...! With the introduction of capitalist relations and private property as the dominant form in the economy, where PROFIT is the main driver of everything and not satisfying the NEEDS OF CITIZENS, political relations are radically changed, where the existing multi-ethnic and multicultural community is legally disintegrating, because this "new" is now based on : A MULTI-PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM, where each ethnic group legally creates its own political party... And they are no longer bound by CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS and affiliation, but exclusively by NATIONAL or RELIGIOUS (both in politics, culture, economy, security and sports...!) Any attempt in such (bourgeois...) circumstances, to establish some kind of UNITARY COMMUNITY, inevitably leads to the domination of one nation and therefore to conflict within such an artificial (forced...) community, and finally, to the inevitable... - WAR...! I will prove to you with a very simple question, that Muslims from Bosnia are ESSENTIALLY the instigators of the war in BiH...! "If TOMORROW ALL SERBS from Republika Srpska were to collectively convert from Orthodoxy to Islam, would you - shoot them"...? Answer me....? If you have a "hertz"...? If you say: that you would not shoot the Serbs, if they collectively convert to Islam: THAT MEANS - THAT YOU did not like the multi-ethnic and multicultural Bosnia that existed in the SFRY and that you are: 100% responsible for the outbreak of war in Bosnia...! If you say: That you would still shoot at the Serbs... - it only means that you are a FASCIST society and a fascist TOTALITARIAN community, which does not know how to organize economic life in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the principles of democratic principles, and that is why you NEED ROBBERY of other peoples and their economic and financial resources. So...? Are you the instigators of war in BiH...? The answer is: YES...! Muslims are the instigators of war in BiH...!
Australia prison island
@Milos milosic 'Muslims are instigators of war in Bosnia Herzegovina'. He who partakes in the murder of innocents irrespective of religious/political affiliations has committed the gravest of sins. Justice is always served whether in this life or the next. It is impregnated in the minds of those who suffered, not necessarily the victim either but extended members of the family and community. It exists in their thoughts, and thoughts have ramifications because thoughts are an energy field that you can't see. Much like gravity and a magnetic field. Even the death of a physical individual does not kill the thought and those who harbour the greatest revenge harbour the greatest thoughts.

My wife and I just drove through this area last week from Greece, through Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia. We were googling along the way to try to understand more about this region, because it's extremely complicated. Growing up in Norway I remember the news in the early 90's about Sarajevo and Bosnia, but we were never told the greater extent of the conflicts in the Balkans. Thanks for helping to shed light on this.

Thank you for getting the War to Light and to make the people who watch it see what war does to humans and that power should never be the focus. I left and never looked back and never wish to look back,but the pain is still there are it wont leave me. It will die with me. The suffering and pain I see in every day's life is hard to swallow including myself,and especially for my parents and my grandparents that saw it all. It was for the better of myself to leave my home country to start a new life,if I would have stayed,my mind would not have been the same. Lets hope something like this never will happen and that the memories are written in history for future generations to see what the past has done.

@Libertas St. Louis is a complicated little city. statistically we have high crime but it's concentrated to very small areas so it sways the stats very heavily. The area's with a higher concentration of Bosnian are safe and don't have any increased crime problems. South St. Louis is where a lot of Bosnian specific stores are, like Afton, Lemay, Mehlville, Bella Villa, Wilbur Park, Lakeshire. those neighborhoods would probably be a treat for you. Hell the population is high enough that they convinced MLS to build a stadium and we now have a soccer team, all because of our Bosnian population. I'm so damn glad I get to live in the same area as them. the US could and should do more for refugees, it's been nothing but positives for the last 30 years. they're the backbone to so many industries here. Every contractor and electrician I've ever hired has been a Bosnian, and they've never disappointed.

@Matthias Darrington To simplify, he is saying that the Muslim "fighting for unitary multinational" Bosnia is just a smoke screen that should hide the actual purpose of Bosnia breaking away, which is to have Bosnian Muslim - fully controlled by the US - dominate such quasi-country, with the other two constitutional nations - Croats and, particularly, Serbs, made marginal. The US is trying to do something similar with the occupied province of Serbia, Kosovo.

Fantastic short video on a very complicated conflict that few really understand. This is worth watching a couple of times to really understand the timeline. I have been fortunate enough to visit Belgrade, Sarajevo, Mostar as well as the other countries of former Yugoslavia and they each offer tremendous amounts of interesting hospitality, sites, food, and history and its important to see how nationalistic movements can and do lead to these traumatic wars where essentially no one really “wins”.

I will be honest this gave me goosebumps and I was actually sad for the my Bosniak brothers. It is sad that this war was even called a "Ethnic cleansing" And the worst part is almost no one helped only at the end. Untill USA came and decided to do something it was already to late, thousands already died. I just hope the best for my brothers and I hope such thing will never happen again, Forgive but don't forget.

Also what he didn’t say is why someone who don’t want to be part of some country in this case Yugoslavia want to keep boarders created by same Yugoslavia communist regime. And why someone is allowed to separate from Yugoslavia and again others can’t separate from newly separated regions? What would happened in case that south USA states want to brake out USA to be independent and also not just that but to take boarders USA create as new boards of country plus to forbid any group that want to be part of USA to stay as part of it? Probably USA or any other country would stand still and watch that…There is a lot of questions he, i guess, miss not intentionally.

Heartbreaking to watch, being a Serbian. Well explained, even for the people living here, since I am sure that most of the younger generations would not understand or know a lot about this conflict (due to heavy propaganda). What triggers me is saying "the Serbs" fought the war. The regular people were devided and made to fight this war against their own neighbors because of the dictators and their nationalistic propaganda. Most of ex YU elderly are equally traumatized by this war. We were a multi ethnic society that lived in prosperity and peace for decades. Milosevic's greed and ego destroyed it all.

Thank you for sharing this video, it shines the light on all crimes that have taken place in that country... I can still vividly remember running from a group of Bosniak armed forces that have already set one village on fire... Thankfully our village managed to flee in time, i hope no one has to literally run for their lives no matter the enthnicity or whatever, its a horrible feeling

My dad and grandpa fought in this war. They fought for Bosnia of course. My grandpa was probably around 30-40 and my dad was a late teenager, probably 15-18 years old. I wasnt even born at that time but I know that it was like hell. They lost some good friends, they were lucky that they didnt get any serious injuries. My grandpa does need to take some pills from time to time, but thats it. This was a very horrible time for the people of Bosnia. This war isnt nearly talked about as it should, thank you for making this video.

This is a topic that is hard to put into a 15min video. It is very nuanced and complicated. I'm from one of the "safe zones", the town of Gorazde. The stuff my parents and my siblings went through is unimaginable. My fathers first wife was a Bosnian Serb, and she died from Serb shell right in front of my dad. Maybe I wouldn't have been born if there wasn't this war, but I would still take not being born over monstrosities that happened during that time and in my hometown. Sad part is, this country will probably never heal and go forward from this war. We are still stuck in it. We are still stuck 30 years in the past.

For a 16 min video, this was really good. But there is so much detail that it could easily be a one hour video. This was a big story even in the US throughout the 90's. This and the collapse of the USSR are two foreign news I probably remember the most in the 90's.

This is mindbogling spin. Milosevid died during his trial, he was never convicted of anything and would by all acounts not have been convicted of genocide. No mention of the largest ethnic cleansing in the war, of entire Serbian poputation of Krajina, in Oluja that he mentions. Srebrenica did have armed muslims, plenty of them who fled through the woods and were captured, and for years were killing Serbs around Srebrenica, in christmas massacre and many other. No mention of that at all, in fact he outright lies about that. So one sided, unseen level of bias on the topic, watch any other video about the war to see how much this is outright dishonest take.

Hi, my aunt was born and lived in Gorazde, until the war, her father was a Judge in a local court, and he was unfortunately killed. I had a chance to read a war diary from one of the people of Gorazde. It was a truly terrible thing that happened, and I really feel huge amount of shame, since my family is really mixed nations. My grandfather who is a Croat still lives in Cajnice, and to this day, he has no explanation what got in the people to be able to commit such attrocities! Fortunately, by some luck he was able to survive the war. I visited Gorazde with my Mountain bike many times, it is a beautiful city full of life, and I loved it very much! I really do hope that this history will never be repeated. Your Somuns are incredible! Wish you all the best.

There was one particular instance in the bosnian war that perfectly incapsulates the horror of war. There was a young woman looking after her father in a home, who was paralyzed. They lived a simple life, but got by as you do. Until one day, when a lone soldier barged in. He grabbed the old man and put him on a sofa facing the soldier and his daughter. The soldier than violently raped the mans daughter, and he could do nothing as she screamed and begged, pleaded for it to stop. The old man was powerless, he could do nothing - but watch this soldier rape his daughter, violate her, again and again. After the ordeal, she was left crying curled up on the floor, and tears rolled down the old mans cheek - he couldn't look away due to his paralysis. He died not long after.

When I was in high school we were tasked with writing about “forgotten wars/ war crimes.” I had just rewatched the movie Behind Enemy Lines which I would say loosely covers the bloodily conflict. After watching the film I remembered my assignment and decided it was time to learn more about it. Needless to say just after finishing up my report to the class there was a noticeable thickness in the air and the class was awfully quiet. Most of my classmates just covered the basic facts in their assignments while I went down a rabbit hole of the worst parts of humanity. I was quite depressed after it was all done, I think we all were and none of us ever lived it.

Same with my dad. My grandpa was a big company director in Croatia and my dad was a rich kid with everything laid in front of him. He was already quite a rebellious guy,using drugs, partying and such. Pretty normal city person for the time. But then while he was abroad on a vacation he learned of the war back home. He came back and immediately enlisted. He was just baffled. Everything he knew had just turned inside out. So he acted out of instinct. He was in the Croatian army for a while but ended up in Bosnia fighting with them. It's a miracle he wasn't killed dozens of times. The way he describes it is you aren't in danger from the enemy state, enemy army, nor any specific ethnicity. You're in danger from the monsters that some of the people on all sides have become. If he wasn't in good terms with one local Muslim extremist leader he'd be killed by them, the people he was fighting with. It was just a mess. I was born in Zagreb well after all of this mess, 2004 and my dad decided to move into the countryside when i was a few years old. My family are christians, but I've grown up with a lot of hindu and Yogi tradition because my father and mother found peace in this way of life. I'm quite an oddball because of this, and my grandparents are definitely not happy about what my dad has done, saying no to the family business and pursuing not so fruitful dreams. But I've learned throughout my life that I'm forever thankful for this upbringing because my family has taught me that all life matters, to not spread hate in any way, to forgive all people and to avoid letting my emotions control me in a bad way. Sometimes i wonder if my life would have been better, and if i was a better, harder working student if my father had amore traditional approach to parenting. But learning more and more about this war that all of our parents have been through reminds me that I am lucky to have settled in such a beautiful way. I pray for all of the people who are still scarred by this war. Especially my generation. I've lived in a war torn village and was bullied for being different and an outsider by the children of my country's defenders. I forgive them, because i know that it is the hate that still lingers from the war. Peace be upon you people. Cheers.

Thank @Johnny Harris and others who participated in creating this video. I am born in 1998 and despite all things post war, generations which are born after war still had a great childhood (including myself) playing outside (Pepperidge farm rememberes). It is unfortunate to see that now Europe is trying to break up Bosnia even more, via "more peaceful way" (politics) and via High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by trying to give Croats 3rd entity, which would create "second Palestine". But, again - We, the Bosniaks are tough people and our elders defended this country with literally just guns for hunting, since the EMBARGO is implemented and humor helped a lot, along with British forces which were fighting shoulder by shoulder with Bosniaks. We like to joke no mater how dark situation becomes, so that helped a lot. I recommend everyone to come, You are all welcome. Visit Bosnia, because traveling this country I found a lot about her. Our food is f-ing delicious, women are beautiful and places are amazing. You are all welcome. Be well! 🙏🏻🍀❤️✌️ Sincerely, - Vaajpa

WHY CAN'T BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BE A UNITARY MULTI-ETHNIC COMMUNITY...? Bosnia and Herzegovina was a multi-ethnic community in Yugoslavia - while the cohesive strength of the community came from self-governing worker (class...!) consciousness, which was: above all religious and national consciousness. In such circumstances: where the dominant form was social ownership of the means of production, and the main production relationship: SELF-MANAGEMENT, it was easy to build multi-ethnic relations and multiculturalism: which was reflected in film, sports and especially in music, where it manifested itself the most...! With the introduction of capitalist relations and private property as the dominant form in the economy, where PROFIT is the main driver of everything and not satisfying the NEEDS OF CITIZENS, political relations are radically changed, where the existing multi-ethnic and multicultural community is legally disintegrating, because this "new" is now based on : A MULTI-PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM, where each ethnic group legally creates its own political party... And they are no longer bound by CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS and affiliation, but exclusively by NATIONAL or RELIGIOUS (both in politics, culture, economy, security and sports...!) Any attempt in such (bourgeois...) circumstances, to establish some kind of UNITARY COMMUNITY, inevitably leads to the domination of one nation and therefore to conflict within such an artificial (forced...) community, and finally, to the inevitable... - WAR...! I will prove to you with a very simple question, that Muslims from Bosnia are ESSENTIALLY the instigators of the war in BiH...! "If TOMORROW ALL SERBS from Republika Srpska were to collectively convert from Orthodoxy to Islam, would you - shoot them"...? Answer me....? If you have a "hertz"...? If you say: that you would not shoot the Serbs, if they collectively convert to Islam: THAT MEANS - THAT YOU did not like the multi-ethnic and multicultural Bosnia that existed in the SFRY and that you are: 100% responsible for the outbreak of war in Bosnia...! If you say: That you would still shoot at the Serbs... - it only means that you are a FASCIST society and a fascist TOTALITARIAN community, which does not know how to organize economic life in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the principles of democratic principles, and that is why you NEED ROBBERY of other peoples and their economic and financial resources. So...? Are you the instigators of war in BiH...? The answer is: YES...! Muslims are the instigators of war in BiH...!.....

Never would I expect an episode on the Bosnian war. I recently travelled to Bosnia last month to report on what happened on the ground- and after visiting Srebrenica itself, seeing it as a ghost town, witnessing the hundreds of serb flags perched over the spots which the Bosniaks were massacred on and speaking with genocide survivors, I can safely say Johnny's video has done justice to this catastrophe, so from the bottom of my heart and those of Bosnia, thank you for covering this. May we learn from the lessons of this dark chapter.

At least it's recovering. Too bad, they're still far away from the EU. I mean, literally, even compared to Albania which the EU has accepted their application. Not to mention, they're not in the NATO yet

@Zaydan Alfariz Bosnia is closer to another war than it's to being a member of European Union. It's sad state of affairs, but it's true. Right as we speak, the Serb side is provoking immediate political instability in the country with the refusal to honor the verdicts, and with the trying to take over jurisdictions from higher levels

Sadly Bosnian politics aren’t great. So it’s an incredible place with incredible people. But it’s a slower progress than their neighbours and they’re really struggling with inflation at the moment as well. With limited government support to help. I know a lot of people very frustrated and it’s very common for people to emigrate to Germany for better prospects. For many political issues it then feeds to the lack of regulation in place that is in line with EU needed to join.

Great video. Tragic war crimes committed regularly during this war.
Prof James Ker-Lindsay
This was a very good overview of what was an extremely complex conflict. But it seems bizarre to think that this is a forgotten war. The collapse of Yugoslavia and the war in Croatia and Bosnia defined the first half of the 1990s. But I’m now getting students who weren’t born when 9/11 happened. I find it fascinating how particular events are ‘remembered’ across generations and others aren’t.

Solid coverage, the only thing that was missing is mention of the 4th faction which was allied with Serbs, which was APZB or in English "Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia", they had about 5000 fighters and were bought in by Serbs to fight against their own (Bosniaks) and were led by a very rich and successful Businessman Fikret Abdic, who ended up being defeated 2x and convicted of war crimes.

My wife and her family were refugees from Bosnia. We all knew about this war but just like most other things overseas most people don't really care about it till it's at their doorstep. It gets alot of coverage in the media when it first happens then once the media can't gain anymore views from this topic then they almost completely drop it and move on to the next hot things that will get views

I was in BH in 1997 and again in 1999. It was a beautiful place until they blew themselves back to the stone age. I liked patrolling at night. It was interesting to look at the buildings at night. The residents would build fires inside and you could see the light shining through the bullet holes. We guarded a mass grave outside Srebrenica. It was a sad place to be. I enjoyed my tours there. I've always wanted to travel there.

I visited Bosnia last summer and really loved the place and its vibes!! It was really disturbing to see the remaining physical damages throughout the old buildings and to know what these people had been through, i deeply relate to bosnians as we experienced almost the same story in Syria! But the difference is that our wound is still bleeding and the criminal is wandering around.

I went in November to Tuzla and Sarajevo and it's my favorite trip so far. Everyone was so kind to me and my friend. We could definitely feel marks of the war left in the country, which is something that I've been lucky to not have experience as I'm from Sweden. It's made me think a lot about how lucky I am to live in a country that has experienced very little conflict over the past century and unfortunately how uncommon that is in our world. I can not even imagine what pain that must be.

As a child growing up in India in 90s , who was much into reading newspaper and news magazines, I vividly remember the stories and pics about this war. As a young child from a minority community in her own country who faced violence trauma and fear by the right wing majoritarian violence in the 90s. It made me quite empathetic to the senseless blood shed of this war. Peace and prosperity to Bosnia.

Thank you so much for this informative video. mostly, people in the west, have no idea what was going on, in that part of the world, in that time. UN failed completely to save and protect the civilians and refugees of Bosnia, it was shocking. All the war criminals should have been sent to fire squad to stop these kinds of ethnic cleansing and atrocities.
