When Bosnia's parliament
voted for independence
:14:08
from Yugoslavia, Bosnian Serb
leader Radovan Karadzic
:14:11
warned of
violent consequences.
:14:19
Now Bosnia is independent
and there's growing concern
:14:22
that violence, even open war,
could erupt,
:14:24
fueled by old ethnic hatreds
that are again emerging
:14:27
as Yugoslavia
disintegrates.
:14:33
In Sarajevo, many believed
peace would prevail.
:14:36
Muslims, Croats and Serbs
have lived comfortably together
:14:39
in the Bosnian
capital for decades,
:14:41
forging friendships
and intermarrying.
:14:43
But the mountains
that ring Sarajevo,
:14:45
where the winter Olympics
were held just eight years ago,
:14:47
are now controlled by Bosnian-Serb
militias with heavy weapons.
:14:51
One kilometer or a kilometer
and a half from Sarajevo.
:14:54
But we don't shoot.
:14:56
We try just to keep peace
:14:58
and not to... to control
the surroundings of Sarajevo.
:15:03
You could take Sarajevo
tomorrow, couldn't you?
:15:05
Anytime.
We could take it anytime.
:15:11
Lejla, what are you
doing in there?
:15:14
Bosnian-Serb politicians
still talk peace
:15:16
and they're denying a report
that Muslims and Croats
:15:18
are now being forced at gunpoint
to leave their villages.
:15:21
- I'm trying to find my book.
- Can't achieve anything by war.
:15:24
We don't want to take
the others' villages
:15:27
or the other towns
or to impose any revolution.
:15:31
We just want to be free,
to be as independent as the others.
:15:35
But many Sarajevans don't
believe Karadzic wants peace.
:15:39
Fearing the worst,
they're abandoning their city.
:15:43
- Found my book, Dad.
- Hmm?
:15:45
- Found my book.
- Good.
:15:48
You had it!
Ready?
:15:52
- Bye, Mama.
- Thank you for having me.
:15:54
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Lejla.
:15:56
Stay whenever you want.
:15:58
- Bye!
- Bye!
