Bosnia - Lovers Buried Together

Описание: (10 Apr 1996) T/I: 10:49:02
The "Romeo and Juliet" of Sarajevo who were shot dead as they fled to safety during the siege of Sarajevo have been reburied in Sarajevo. Admira Ismic and Bosko Brkic, one a Serb, the other a Moslem, had
negotiated safe passage but were hit by sniper fire as they crossed a bridge into Serb territory in May 1993. Bosko died first, then Admira. The photograph of the couple lying dead on the bridge was flashed around the world and became a symbol of the tragic divisions within Bosnia. On Wednesday (10/4), they were buried side by side in Sarajevo's
Lion cemetery, surrounded by family.
