- Yeah.

:14:05
When Bosnia's parliament
voted for independence

:14:08
from Yugoslavia, Bosnian Serb
leader Radovan Karadzic

:14:11
warned of
violent consequences.

:14:19
Now Bosnia is independent
and there's growing concern

:14:22
that violence, even open war,
could erupt,

:14:24
fueled by old ethnic hatreds
that are again emerging

:14:27
as Yugoslavia
disintegrates.

:14:33
In Sarajevo, many believed
peace would prevail.

:14:36
Muslims, Croats and Serbs
have lived comfortably together

:14:39
in the Bosnian
capital for decades,

:14:41
forging friendships
and intermarrying.

:14:43
But the mountains
that ring Sarajevo,

:14:45
where the winter Olympics
were held just eight years ago,

:14:47
are now controlled by Bosnian-Serb
militias with heavy weapons.

:14:51
One kilometer or a kilometer
and a half from Sarajevo.

:14:54
But we don't shoot.
:14:56
We try just to keep peace
:14:58
and not to... to control
the surroundings of Sarajevo.
