SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina — The siege of Sarajevo had just begun the last time Vera Bagur, now 68, took the famous train line from Sarajevo to Belgrade. It was one of the few physical links that bound Muslims, Serbs and Croats.

Lala Tomljanovic and Vera Bagur, both 68, who share an apartment in Sarajevo, rode the train from Sarajevo to Belgrade for the first time in 18 years. More Photos

That unity was cracking into violence as she peered, against the conductor’s orders, out the window as tanks rolled past in the dry, unpicked cornfields.

"The socialist idea cannot be rejected because of the crude failures of the real socialist model . . . the idea of socialism, viewed historically, belongs to the future." Veljko Kadijević: Yugoslavia National Defense Minister, 1990

"The segmentation of the Yugoslav political elite answers the questions of why, despite its absolute control of society, it did not succeed in finding a way out of the [economic and political] crisis [of 1980's]. The reason must be found in the fact that ineffectiveness of the political (and other) elites is not only a function of their control, but also of their unity. . . . A solution . . . . requires a fundamental change in the paradigm, a change in which the politocracy looses its dominant position." -Vladimir Goati

It is amazing how you can find such different landscapes a couple of blocks away. Belgrade has lots of different cities mixed up in one.

Ivana and Vida of Kontekst Gallery, one of the hosts at Belgrade for LHE, would like to receive some photos you may have of our event in their gallery. Please send it to kontekstgalerija@gmail.com
