  • Siege of Sarajevo (1992-96) Exact figures of casualties are still disputed but it is estimated that approx. 19,000 people died, 10% of them children.<br />
<br />
18,000 Serbian troops stationed in the hills surrounding city, besieged the 340,000 citizens with its constant artillery, mortar,  sniper rifles and heavy machine-gun fire. <br />
<br />
Aside from the human cost of war, the cities infrastructure  also suffered greatly - buildings, roads, waterworks, power supplies. A recent report suggests that the Serb forces caused an estimated $18.5billion of damage.

  • From 1992, the city of Sarajevo, capital of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, came under siege and was subjected to daily shelling and sniper attacks from Serbian forces in and around the city. The siege of Sarajevo lasted from April 6, 1992 to February 29, 1996. Its now known as the longest siege in modern history. <br />
<br />
Cemetery, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, January 1998. Approx. 11,541 people were killed in Sarajevo during the siege, including 643 children.

  • 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.

  • Prague, Czech Republic. December 2018.<br />
The abandoned Strahov Stadium lies in a state of decay. Construction began in 1926 based on the plans of architect Alois Dryák but its wooden construction was quickly replaced by concrete grandstands in 1932. <br />
Under the communist regime it was used to display massive synchronised gymnastic events known as “Spartakiads”. <br />
The Stadium is the biggest of its kind - covering an area of eight football pitches.

  • 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.

  • During the 1992-1995 war, Grbavica was occupied early by the Army of Republika Srpska and remained under Serb control throughout the siege. From the tall residential buildings, Serb snipers targeted the Sarajevo populace along Sniper Alley. The neighbourhood was heavily looted and destroyed.
