Yugoslavia se había partido desde 1991 con las independencias de Eslovenia, Macedonia, Croacia y Bosnia.

Pero Bosnia era un tanto particular, un poco porque tenía la composición étnica más heterogénea y otro poco porque estaba en el medio, entre Serbia y Croacia. Image
Bosnia se convirtió en un campo de batalla entre tres partes: los bosniacos (musulmanes), los serbios (cristianos ortodoxos) y los croatas (católicos). Las élites quisieron mantener el poder y explotaron los nacionalismos. Cada uno fundó su país: Bosnia, Srpska y Herceg-Bosnia. ImageImageImage

This is a nomadic art installation from Aida Šehović called Što te nema (Why aren’t you with us?) reminding of the suspected 8372 men and children systematically killed in the week preceding the 11th of July 1995.
With the ongoing Russian invasion on #Ukraine, the spotlight should be again on this troubled community.
