and the perils thereof will be met with total derision and<br />
scornful laughter by both Bosnians and foreigners who<br />
live there.<br />
War<br />
Take a walk through the centre of Sarajevo, and even<br />
fifteen years after the war ended in 1995, bullet-holes,<br />

and the occasional shredded building that has not been<br />
renovated or demolished are all around you. Look down at<br />
the pavement when you walk: you’ll see many a familiar shape<br />
of a large ‘bears’ paw,’ the residue of an explosive mortar<br />
impact on the ground: fading, pink plastic has been poured<br />
into some of them to preserve the shape for posterity, sites<br />
that are known as ‘Sarajevo roses.’ The war in Bosnia saw<br />
100,000 people die, a million people displaced or turned<br />

humanitarian intervention, flooded into Bosnia to try and<br />
re-construct the country after the Dayton Peace Accords<br />
were signed in 1995.<br />
