Era un 18 maggio, ventisei anni fa
 
Admira Ismić e Boško Brkić, fidanzati di Sarajevo, furono vogliaccamente assassinati ventisei anni fa. 
Lei "bosgnacca", lui "serbo" - come si usa dire nel linguaggio "etnicamente corretto", in realtà razzista, che è diventato oggi obbligatorio. Furono colpiti da cecchini mujaheddin sulla riva del fiume. Lei rimase disperata presso il cadavere di lui finché un altro colpo vigliacco non ebbe la "pietà" di ricongiungere i loro destini. A lungo nessuno raccolse i loro corpi, stesi abbracciati proprio sulla linea del fronte. La loro "colpa": stavano scappando dalla Bosnia di Izetbegovic per raggiungere ciò che rimaneva della Jugoslavia. Per questo motivo, in Italia e in Occidente nessuno li ricorda, nessuno li piange. I media occidentali, che allora incolparono i serbi ed hanno continuato fino ad oggi a fare cieca propaganda a favore del secessionismo islamista bosgnacco, sono gli assassini morali di Admira e Bosko.. Ma ricordiamo anche il caso di un giornalista onesto: Kurt Schork della Reuters, che rimase fortemente scioccato da quello che era successo, e raccontò i fatti. Oggi è sepolto vicino a loro, a Sarajevo. (a cura di Italo Slavo)

Kurt Schork’s signature dispatch from siege of Sarajevo


By Kurt Schork 
Reuters

SARAJEVO, May 23, 1993 - Two lovers lie dead on the banks of Sarajevo’s Miljacka river, locked in a final embrace.

For four days they have sprawled near Vrbana bridge in a wasteland of shell-blasted rubble, downed tree branches and dangling power lines.

So dangerous is the area no one has dared recover their bodies.

Bosko Brckic and Admira Ismic, both 25, were shot dead on Wednesday trying to escape the besieged Bosnian capital for Serbia.

Sweethearts since high school, he was a Serb and she was a Moslem.

"They were shot at the same time, but he fell instantly and she was still alive," recounts Dino, a soldier who saw the couple trying to cross from government territory to rebel Serb positions.

"She crawled over and hugged him and they died like that, in each other’s arms."

Squinting through a hole in the sandbagged wall of a bombed-out building, Dino points to where the couple lie mouldering amid the debris of Bosnia’s 14-month civil war.

Bosko is face-down on the pavement, right arm bent awkwardly behind him. Admira lies next to her lover, left arm across his back.

Another corpse, that of a man shot five months ago, lies nearby. The dead man’s body is so wasted his clothes seem hollow.

The government side says Serb soldiers shot the couple, but Serb forces insist Bosnian Moslem-led government troops were responsible.

"I don’t care who killed them, I just want their bodies so I can bury them," says Zijah Ismic, the dead girl’s father. "I don’t want them to rot in no-man’s land."

Government and Serb authorities have discussed the matter, but so far are refusing a cease-fire around Vrbana bridge to permit recovery of the couple.

The United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), charged with providing humanitarian assistance in Sarajevo, maintains the bodies are a local issue.

"I’m an auto mechanic and I know a lot of people in this city," says the girl’s father. "Everyone is washing their hands in this case, Bosnians and Serbs alike."

In a country mad for war, Bosko and Admira were crazy for each other.

The university chemistry students dated for seven years before moving in to live together nine months ago.

With his father dead, no one would have blamed Bosko had he left Sarajevo when his mother and brother fled before war broke out last year.

Instead, he stayed in the city.

"He had no one here, just Admira," explains the dead girl’s mother.

"Bosko stayed in Sarajevo because of her. Admira wanted to repay him by travelling with him to Serbia."

Mystery, and perhaps treachery, surrounds the couple’s death. Government and Serb officials admit they agreed to let them pass through the lines last Wednesday afternoon at 4.00 pm. Bosko and Admira walked at least 500 meters along the north bank of the Miljacka river, fully exposed to soldiers on both sides.

As they passed Bosnian lines and headed for the Serb-held neighbourhood of Grbavica, someone shot them.

The young couple had been dead two days before Admira’s parents found out. Ham radio operators in Serbia contacted them trying to confirm rumours of Bosko’s death.

"I spoke to his mother then and she gave me permission to bury them together in Sarajevo," says Admira’s father. 

"We want them to lie together in the ground, just as they died together," he adds.

Frantic to retrieve the bodies, Admira’s parents are bewildered by unresponsive Bosnian and Serb bureaucracies, and by UNPROFOR’s hands-off policy.

Zijah Ismic claims he begged UNPROFOR to let him drive one of its armoured pesonnel carriers in to get his daughter.

He says the U.N. told him armour-piercing rounds from machine-guns and cannon around Vrbana bridge would go through the vehicle.

"Love took them to their deaths," Ismic says of Bosko and Admira.

"That’s proof this is not a war between Serbs and Moslems. It’s a war between crazy people, between monsters. That’s why their bodies are still out there."

Kurt Schork buried in Sarajevo

Wednesday, 2 August, 2000, 16:29 GMT 17:29 UK
From the newsroom of the BBC World Service

The last remains of the former Reuters correspondent, Kurt Schork -- who became closely identified with coverage of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina -- have been buried in Sarajevo.
Mr Schork was killed in an ambush in Sierra Leone in May, along with a colleague from the Associated Press, Miguel Gil Moreno.
After Mr Schork's cremation in Washington, half of his ashes were taken to the Lion cemetery in Sarajevo.
He was buried next to the subjects of one of his best-known news stories -- a Muslim girl and her Serb boyfriend who were shot dead while trying to escape during the conflict.
