I feel so sorry for her and what she went through, it must have been hell.. I'm glad she got reunited with her family. It's sad that in 2024 things like this are still happening..
A friend of mine volunteered to drive an articulated truck load of aid such as medical supplies, food & clothing etc etc to Bosnia, not by himself but in an organised convoy. He only did the one trip & vowed to never go again as his vehicle was shot at & had various rocks & stones thrown at it! This really unsettled & upset him as he had a kind heart & only wanted to help those suffering. War is something only those that have experienced it can understand, my friend was shocked by what people can do to other people, especially when some people are only there to help. A sad but very true story..
So sorry what you and your family went through Sabina. No one can NEVER understand this. Only us, people who went through this LIVING HELL. I am so happy that your dad was able to get the family pictures when you guys were forced to leave. My family did NOT get the pictures. Not one single picture. It was ALL destroyed by cetnik shelling. Also, I noticed that the wall outlets were left intact, as well as all the doors when the serb family left YOUR apartment. Our apartment was COMPLETELY stripped of all the doors. Even the wall outlets were RIPPED out of the walls. It was SHOCKING to see that and unable to process. I hope you found at least some peace and happiness in the States.
No worries. Thanks. Yeah, it could have been worse, YES for sure. Because, the apartment was left essentially intact. Some people's homes had NOTHING left inside them when they came back,NOTHING. In my case, windows. doors were removed. ALL of them. Power outlets were RIPPED out of the walls. Some of the wiring was removed as well. The toilet bowl was taken also. Some places were BURNED to the ground as well. THink about that.@@amyvivianjane
O yeah. Most people who returned or decided to reclaim their properties did get their homes back. However, when they went back, ALL of the furniture was GONE. Even the doors and electrical outlets were RIPPED out of the walls. ALL the plumbing was gone. I mean EVERYTHING except the walls. Some houses simply disappeared from their spots. Because the bricks were stolen and taken elsewhere for rebuilding. Makes you cringe. IMPOSSIBLE to process. Chetniks had many years to loot, destroy and transport furniture and building materials suck as bricks from peoples houses when they occupied parts of Bosnia. Thats it.
@@zeuslord2869 Same thing happened in Azerbaijan during the Armenian occupation. The Armenians took apart cities, towns and villages - literally. Much of the building materials ended up in Armenia Nothing much was left that when Azerbaijan liberated its occupied territories, they had to rebuild pretty much everything from scratch before anyone can return because there was nothing to return to.
The apartment tour was super awkward! Both Alex and Sabina were justified in their emotional feelings. Their respective countries and govt leaders did this to them- made them dislike and fight with eachother. It’s Serbias fault. And a little bit of BiH’s for not coming up with a more timely plan to help original owners get their homes back. I hope things are becoming more streamlined and fair these days…..
It's very interesting but a badly done documentary. Why were people displaced, etc. Could have elaborated much more on that. Thanks for the upload, though.
NO need to 'eleborate" because this is such a UNIQUE situation that NO amount of explaining could make you EVER understand what these people went through.
@zeuslord2869 /Gaylord. Rather, wait until you are an adult and support yourself without your parents' money before you comment on such complex matters. It takes a developed brain and, at minimum average, IQ to understand not everything is about "feelings" and what people "went through." Background, history, facts, and context matters.

You’re not talking about the Serb plight from Sarajevo who have never returned back. They like to boast about Sarajevo being a tolerant and diverse place, ironically calling it the Jerusalem of Europe. In reality, it is the Tehran of the Balkans.
@@wreeygjkhy2757 It had no choice. The coordinated campaign led by the Bosniak member of the presidency Alija Izetbegović encouraged the local Serbs not to stay in the city no matter what. Of course they wouldn’t want to stay in it because they would be trapped in a place that consisted well over 200 detention camps specifically for them. This is the place where the first shot was fired, not by a Serb but by a Bosniak. Ferhadija in Banja Luka was rebuilt and opened by the RS president himself, many Bosniaks have returned unlike the Serbs in FBiH.

The subtitle for 'people speaking a foreign language' should be replaced by "Serbian language speakers" ......nowhere in the 21st century does the term 'foreign language' exist or gain entry to civilised society. And pertaining to Europe, most of us do or should speak 3 of the major European Union languages.
WRONG. Orthodox-bosnians speak Bosnian. NOT serbian. The confusion for foreigners arises due to orthodox-bosnians REFUSING to say that they speak Bosnian because of their so called serbian-pride and because they do NOT want to be associated with Muslims in bosnia. even though they ARE all the SAME. All three poeple in bosnia speak the SAME and sound the SAME. Orthodox-bosnians are NOT serbians. they are Bosnians of orthodox religion. They will NEVER admit that, even though real SErbs in Serbia do NOT even like them. they are desperate to be associated with serbia and serbs. PATHETIC.
