  • Vrbanja bridge, Sarajevo. Re- named the Suada and Olga Bridge, after Admira Ismić and Boško Brkić. The couple were natives of Bosnia and Herzegovina living in the city of Sarajevo. She was Muslim, and he a Serb. They were killed by snipers on 19 May 1993, in broad daylight while trying to cross the Vrbanja bridge to the Serb-occupied territory of Grbavica. Bosko was shot by sniper fire, and died. Ismic, also wounded by sniper fire, crawled to her childhood sweetheart, put an arm around him, and died at his side, never trying to escape to safety herself.<br />
<br />
Their tragic story was told worldwide over the next week as Serbs and Muslims argued over who was responsible for shooting them, and which side should risk the treacherous journey onto the bridge to recover the bodies and bury them.<br />
<br />
The couple's bodies laid side by side on the bridge for eight days, until finally the Serbian side went in under cover of night to drag the corpses away. Muslim prisoners later claimed they were tethered by their Serbian captors and forced to go out on the bridge to drag the by-then decaying bodies back.

  • Land mines were used extensively during the war by all sides in the conflict: about 1.5 million were laid across the country between 1991-95.<br />
<br />
In 1997, more than 600,000 refugees still remained outside the country; landmines have impeded the return of many. Those who do return often find that their land has become a minefield. These returning refugees have little mine awareness, and, having been away from their communities, they do not know the location of minefields.<br />
<br />
There are thought to be still between 51,000 and 100,000 mines covering a 310-square-mile area across the country.  At least 509 people have been killed and another 1,466 wounded by the devices in Croatia since the war ended.<br />
<br />
It is hoped that by 2019 all suspected minefields will be cleared.
