'Grbavica'

Wars seldom end when a peace accord is signed, and that is especially true of the conflict in what survivors still call "ex-Yugoslavia." Because what combatants did was so savage, and because enemies, especially in the city of Sarajevo, had been so close, the war is a wound that has difficulty healing, a nightmare that even daylight can't dispel.
