"The Boiling Cauldron Bosnia-Herzegovina
Can Karpat, AIA Balkan Section
Eleven years ago in Srebrenica 8000 Bosnians had lived the hell on earth. War is over, the land is pacified. However Bosnia-Herzegovina is still a boiling cauldron. The land with the over-sophisticated state structure, which consists of 3 or 4 tiers of governance, 13 parliaments, 13 executive branches and about 180 ministries, will go to the polls on 1st October. By that time Kosovo would be already independent. And some 40 percent of the Bosnian Serbs are for the unification with Serbia. Are the same devils in motion?

“All around the world butterflies are the symbol of spring. Not in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Here butterflies are symbols of genocide”. The Bosnian, who was interviewed by a Bosnian TV channel, went on explaining that there is a specific kind of butterfly that used to perch on those flowers, which grow up in graves. Mass graves are hard to found out in Bosnia, for the Serbian militia used to blend the ground in order to camouflage the graves. Following these butterflies, the International Commission of Missing Persons discovered some of these many mass graves. That is why butterflies are not joyful symbols of spring for the Bosnians - not anymore."
