Thousands of red chairs are standing empty along Sarajevo’s main avenue on Friday as Bosnia and Herzegovina commemorates the 20th anniversary since the start of the country’s war. A classical orchestra will play a concert for the 11,541 empty seats, one for each civilian killed during a near-four-year siege of the city by Bosnian Serb forces, which became a symbol of the 1992-1995 conflict.

twelve full moons: An Interview of Aleks

twelve-full-moons:

This is a very good interview of Aleks by Mark Ogden from the Telegraph. Worth a read! Here are a few things he said, mostly about the wars in Serbia he has been through when he’s young.

“Everybody from my country has a story from when they are young,” Kolarov said. “When I was young, my…

Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov

A Bosnian and a Serbian embrace. Two children of the Balkans enjoying a better life. Both Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov have known bloody conflict in their short lifetimes. Dzeko survived the siege of Sarajevo as a young boy in the mid-1990’s, spending three years in a one-bedroom basement flat with a dozen members of his family. As a teenager, Kolarov endured the NATO attack on Belgrade at the end of that same decade.

Edin Dzeko does not like to talk about his past, about the dark days when shells flattened the family home outside the city. He carries it with him, though. “I try to do something to make change,” Dzeko told Sportsmail this week. “I tend to go to schools in Bosnia, where there is still much to do. Many of the schools are divided, with the Bosnians on one side and Serbians as well as Croatians on the other. I go there to try to persuade them to come together and mix, because the war led to mistrust and hate, so things are difficult. 

I try to show the children that it’s not important what their name is or my name is or whether we are Muslim, Christian, or Catholic. I want to show them that the most important thing is that you’re a good man, or a good woman. Look at Aleksandar. What is important to me is that somebody is a good person, and he is a good person. It’s not important that he comes from Serbia, despite what happened between our countries. It doesn’t matter if he is from Croatia or Bosnia or Ghana or England. All I care about is the individual.”

Steven Gerrard: He realized that maybe he wasn’t wanted at Liverpool. Yeah, it was frustrating. I know Xabi didn’t want to leave. He  loved it here, he was settled and he was enjoying his football, but, as you say, never say never. Maybe he’ll wear the red shirt again.
