| Page Views: 1,769 Last Visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina: December, 2002 I Used To Live Here | War Damaged Houses by american_tourister - last update: Dec 22, 2002 |
There is a no man's land zone between the Federation of Bosnia Hercegovina (Muslims and Croats) and Republika Srpska (Serbs). It is a buffer zone between the two political entities that were created by the Dayton peace Accords. It is heavily mined and is full of war damaged and destroyed houses. Maybe someday the people will return but for now it really is an unoccupied no man's land. |
|  | Another family's dreams will have to wait You cannot tell if the homes belonged to Muslims, Croats, or Serbs. It does not really matter to the family who has lost their home. Many of these people live in refugee centers. |
| | The houses have been ransacked When the people eventually return they will only find shells. Everything of value including windows and wiring has been taken out by scavengers. |
| | Even the animals suffered This barn is located right outside of Tuzla. It took a hit during the shelling. According to one of the locals, it wiped out this farmers herd of cattle. |
| | Not much left to come home to. It is incredibly sad to see what hate has brought upon this place. |
