“I am not the same having seen the moon rise on the other side of the world...”- Mary Ann Rademacher
(10 - 18 April 2012)
Hubby and I joined the Puspanita of Bank Negara for a trip to the war torn Bosnia and Croatia from 10 to 18 April 2012 with a stopover in Istanbul for a day.
Why did Croatia and Bosnia go to war?
Both Croatia and Bosnia faced a complex set of reasons that led to the outbreak of war between them. The dissolution of Yugoslavia, authoritarian governments, economic crises, and strong social cleavages all contributed to rising nationalistic and ethnic tensions that became too much to handle for the two neighboring countries. The conflict between Croatia and Bosnia resulted in a bloody three-sided fight for territories, with civilians of all ethnicities becoming victims of horrendous crimes.
