the scars of war in sarajevo are hard to
miss
and people here say radovan karzic is
responsible for most of them
the holes left by mortars have been
filled with red paint
blood was spilled here instead of
advertising on the walls of this main
market
there are the names of 67 victims killed
by a single served shell
in 1994. for this buzzing teenager on a
summer job
war meant a generation lost the small
children didn't have a childhood
they don't have parents to take them to
the zoo to the school
this is a copy of the courageous
indictment it is a long list of
atrocities
including the shelling of civilian
gatherings from positions high
above the city just like this one and
one of the counts in the indictment
is the sarajevo sniping which basically
reads that throughout the siege
there has been a systematic campaign of
deliberate targeting of civilians
by snipers of the bosnian serb military
and their agents
the sniping campaign the indictment
continues has terrorized the civilian
population of sarajevo
and has resulted in a substantial number
of civilian casualties
it is with these images in mind that
people here watched karadzic's first day
in court
for people that have lost close
relatives i'm sure it will be very hard
to watch this butcher on tv
as much as this try is going to be very
difficult for victims
them very difficult i think that this is
going to help a reconciliation
of the people of bosnia reconciliation
between serbs and muslims in bosnia is a
slow and difficult process
the kharajic's televised trial may not
speed up
less than 20 minutes away from downtown
sarajevo bosnian serbs believe the man
on the dock of the hague
is not a war criminal i can talk i will
cry
for him he's a good man
he's our leader he is we
all are karadic the pakistani
there were three sides in the war the
other two presidents died as heroes
she says referring to the bosnian muslim
and court presidents who passed away in
recent years
but our leader is accused of war crimes
for the people of sarajevo the trial may
not bring closure
nor will it bring back the more than ten
thousand who died here during the 44
months long siege
blamed on carrij's forces but many
bosnians today felt
that justice was being served alessio
